Oh hey, we're having an earthquake

We just had a 4.8 magnitude earthquake here in San Francisco. I don’t know much about where the Eipcenter was, but I certainly felt it. I’m sure a lot of people felt it as well even though it’s nearly 3 in the morning isn’t that when these things usually happen ? Kidding I know they can happen anytime


Update earthquake was epic centered in Berkeley California. At least that’s what they’re saying.

San Diego area. I recall three distinct earthquakes during the year I lived there. I was in my 4th floor apartment when a 4-point-something quake hit, causing much more freedom of movement within the building than I liked.i got reassurance from those who had lived there much longer, saying that it’s better to have lots of small quakes than one giant fault-sliding catastrophe.

and did not let the tonnage of unraked debris weigh down the tectonic plate causing this earthquake, you could have avoided the problem.

That factoid is brought to you by the GOP Department of Syints.
