The biggest one I felt since living up here
we are on a lot of clay & granite

Usually just a lil' rattle or rock & roll
it went on for like 30-45 seconds, stopped
& then another 30-45 seconds or so
shock the house pretty good, twices

dog/Elvis my lab was a lil' scared, climbed up on my lap

nothing broke or fell

the neighbor's pool was sloshing like crazy
I have no idea yet where the epicenter is/was
must have been bad in the Bay or Valley areas

Farmington, Yellington (? never heard of it, close to Nv border, N-NE of Us)
& one in Stockton
we had a 5.9, 5.3 & a 4.7 directly after it

they said 3 earthquakes in succession, I felt 2/maybe 3

now they say 4 to 6 different quakes, all 5.99 to 3.1
another one was really close to the Farmington quake,
like 20 miles away from Farmington area too,
down & S-SW of us, maybe 100 miles-ish

That's a angry fault over your way.
 
Haven't felt anything down here, but my mom sent me a video of one of their chandeliers moving a bit. She said her dozen or so hens stopped cackling and stood still for about 15 or 20 seconds, then went back to their chickinpickin'. Their place is about halfway between me and you..
 
They say 9-10 (one said 12) different quakes now,
most are close to Smith Valley Nv. & Calif. border
by US 395/state route 89
a few were, closer to the valley south towards Fresno
& west towards Stockton &/or Markleeville too
saw on Fox 40 & KCRA 3 out of Sacramento feed
most are "lil'er" ones or aftershocks now
sort of close to areas where they just had them

another 3 close upcountry in Dardanelle, 30 or so miles east up 108
just had a report of another one too, a 3. & another 3. & 5. something
lots of granite up there too

yeah I'm pretty used to them
I lived in the bay area for 27 years, we had them often
it's no big deal, I keep moving east

the 14-15 years I've been/bought up here 2005- present
& the 10 years prior in Rancho Murieta 1997-2007
we don't usually feel much if anything up here

like I said we're on lots of granite & clay here,
pretty firm footing

just something to talk about, I find it interesting
not really scary, I'm a Calif. native it's old hat stuff

I'm waiting for the Hayward fault 'to snap'
that will be a bad one, it's way overdue too

Forgive my ignorance, but how do they pinpoint the epicenter so fast?

Not sure exactly the how fast
I sort of know why
we have so damn many geologists & scientists
on the govt. dole/payroll here, they have sensors everywhere too
constant monitoring too 24/7

you can go to the National or Calif. Geological site
get up-to the min./second updates too

we're good no big deal

:thankyou: for the well wishes

Really now to me, it's just a lil' rock & roll

& freak out the dog for a few minutes :lol:

:luvplace:
 
Glad it wasn’t anything more serious!

I was visiting a friend in the LA area in the early 90s and there were two 5.x earthquakes in the early, early morning an hour or two apart. No damage but your comment about the pool sloshing triggered a memory. Even 20 mins after they had 8” high waves in the pool. As someone not accustomed to quakes, I didn’t get much sleep after the second one ;)
 
They're saying now some 20+ in
Smith Valley, Nv region
(maybe 100 miles as the crow flys)
S-SW of them, thru the Dardenell, Ca area
(30 miles east of here),
those areas measured quakes, in the past 30-60 or so min.'s

probably mostly aftershocks now
 
The last decent size quake we had here woke me up,and my German Shepherd Dog who has a bed in the corner of my bedroom was standing up looking at me like WTF is this. I guess he missed out on the dogs having special knowledge of earthquakes.
 
Gotta' go I'll check back later

time to feed the animals & dad

see ya'
Later
