#5 Back when I lived in OC, a 3.7 was page B-11 news. You had to be at least 5.0 to make it to A-5 or better.

#6 I remember having frequent earthquake drills when I lived there as a little kid.
A beautiful city, although I haven't been there in many years.

#10 Ah yes, the Hayward fault, where I felt my first earthquake as a young kid just out of college. I was sitting in a wooden framed tennis club that later was incinerated in the Oakland Hills firestorm. I watched the energy wave come right through the building.
Then we lit up a doobie and listened to My Sharoona on the radio. Kinda miss those days...good times, good times

#11 I was up at the Lab last night and felt the quake distinctily.

I was leaning up against a truck at the time talking with a friend of mine and it felt like someone had come up and shoved the truck real hard. I stepped back looked at him, he looked at me, and both of us said almost simultaneously,

"What the f*ck was that?"

We were in the Bldg 88 parking lot which is about 50 yards from the Hayward fault (maybe a thousand yards away from Memorial Stadium which the fault runs directly through the center of).

Short, sharp, and noticeable, but not as bad as the Loma Prieta by one helluva' long shot.

I'm told that Washington called the gate after I left wondering if everythingwas okay and put everyone through our eartquake drill.

#15 FOTS,
"Getting shoved" from behind is xactly how I describ my experience in the 89 quake. I was stopped for a red light in Fremont, and spent the first 15 seconds of the quake believing my pick up truck was blowing an engine, throwing a rod and then glaring into the rearview mirror seeing which one of my AHOLE freinds had come up behind me and was pushing my vehicle.
Only then did I again see a wave of energy moving south to north through the intersecton and I was finally hit with the big cluebat that it was a big earthquake.
I still rushed home cause I didn't want to miss the beginning of the World Series game.
