DHa@crichton007 @mmasnick Nah, it's nice here! We have a taco trail! https://www.visitconcordca.com/eat-drink/taco-trail/
John Eddy@mmasnick Right on top of one in Panama too.
Brian Swetland@mmasnick I definitely felt that one in Palo Alto.
Pyperkub@mmasnick Didn't feel a thing.
T. Austin Brown@mmasnick hope everyone is okay. It would be nice to have an earthquake bot on here.
Samhain Night@mmasnick Thanks for the links!
@mmasnick @lastquake @CaliforniaQuakeBot @quakebot I’ve only ever been through one earthquake, in New York, in 2011. As far as I know. But it’s interesting to see how often they happen.
prunella@mmasnick Didn't feel it in Vallejo…
Joe ❌👑@mmasnick Mastodon folks in California can follow @CaliforniaQuakeBot for real time reporting. 4.6 near Hollister, 50 miles or so south of San Jose.
Dr. Fancypants, Esq.@mmasnick Didn’t feel it in SF.

@ryansingel we're having some work done (replacing water heater) so I thought maybe it was the workers, but then realized that wouldn't make the house shake like that...
@mmasnick
Workers dropping the empty water heater strong

6H057rUNN3r@mmasnick might be nice if you could receive weather or other natural disaster warnings through mastodon
@LibrationPointThree there are a bunch of bots for that here.
@mmasnick Didn't feel it up here on the way north coast. How big did it feel?
@samhainnight it was a rolling kinda feel. Not too strong, but I definitely noticed it... while wife/kids did not.
billy@mmasnick isn’t CA well overdue on an earthquake anyway?

Karen Strickholm@mmasnick Bay area AND Panama.

Hacker Factor@mmasnick A 4.5 south of San Jose (Salinas). https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc73866925/region-info
I grew up in that area. A 4.5? Did anyone even notice it? That's strong enough that, by the time you realize what it is, it's over.
Magnitude is an exponential scale. 4.6 is noticeably larger than 4.5. Don't get excited until it hits a 4.8 or higher. (Those are big. Says a guy who was at the epicenter of the big 6.9 in 1989.)
Steve Felten@hackerfactor @mmasnick Used to eat at the Tres Pinos cafe when I worked at Almaden Vineyards. They had a geological station at the Cienega winery to measure San Andreas fault movement.
@hackerfactor yeah. you could feel it, but it wasn't a scary one. I've been through scarier. And no one else in my house felt it.
CowBlizzard@mmasnick send in your “did you feel it?” Report yet?

Christel van der Boom@mmasnick there are plenty of quake accounts here on Mastodon. (I felt it too and checked here immediately.)
ProtectiveHen@mmasnick Thank you for getting this going! Didn't feel it...but I'll know in future to check in here.
Random Participation@mmasnick Only a 4.6? I’ve had better sex.
Actually was in Tokyo in 2011. Now THAT was an earthquake. As a Contra Costa resident, none of us felt it.
Steve Wetherill@mmasnick house was wobbling plenty here in South County Monterey.
Amanda Bee@mmasnick i really want to figure out how to get public agencies to migrate so I can get my BART updates and storm coverage here. I know they're posting automatically anyhow.
