Earthquake In Santa Cruz, Centered Around San Jose, Milpitas 10/30/07

The earthquake shook us on the UC Santa Cruz campus. Some of us got under desks, but we did not evacuate the building.

Good wake up for Halloween.

I Live in Felton and I felt the tremor. It lasted about 15 to 20 seconds, I felt it very strong.

Felt in in Tracy, Ca. too.

Must have rode up the fault line we felt it here in Emerville...very strong shake..at least 5 seconds.

My dog and I felt the earthquake very strongly in Novato. Seemed to go on for several minutes. Could not call out on my telephone or cell phone. Have not heard of any damage so far.

At or around 8:10 I was sitting at my desk working away and felt a mild wave come through. I am located in Turlock, approx 10 miles south of Modesto and 70 miles east of San Jose. Everyone in the neighborhood felt the earthquake also. Nice to see that a mild earthquake can cause all our phone lines to be busy...can't imagine what would happen if we had a real emergency.

felt in modesto,ca

We felt it in Salinas, CA for the entire duration. Pictures and blinds swayed. Nothing fell.

i felt the earthquake my house shaked

It thought it was fairly strong and seemed to last at least 15-20 seconds if not longer. Everything was rolling and swaying.

yup yup......................

I felt my living room feel like the floor was rolling then suddenly swaying. My pet parrot was stopped playing with his toys as soon as it happend. He started cooing a in a strange manner that was abnormal for him. After all was said and done, he remained sitting on his cage door mad as can be. I couldn't even pick him up to put him to bed for the night. Pretty weird!

around 8:10 pm I felt things shaking in my room, books fell and so on. it seemed way longer than any tremor I have felt before. it was unerving!! I checked on my kids and tried to calm down.
from Danville Ca

I felt it in East Palo Alto

Felt at 8:10 10 miles east of Sonora.

That was a big one....I'm here in Felton CA

I'm in Fresno and I was sitting on the couch and it felt like it started shaking back and forth. I saw that my 3 yr old was on the floor so I knew she wasn't doing it...once I saw my light over the sink swaying I knew what it was.

felt it in sebastopol

My arm chair I was sitting in seem to vibrate on its own for about 15 to 20 seconds. It just kept on going and going without end, then suddenly just stopped. Strongest one I have felt since I live in CA for almost 30 years.

my fiance and i had just tuned in for ncis and where sitting across from thetv when it felt like the couch was vibrating and the tv looked like it was swaying accrossed the room. our cat freaked out and started howling which ive never heard her do and then it was over with.

At about 8:08 p.m. this evening, we felt a two-jolt earthquake in North Oakland, and friends felt it in Berkeley. I have heard from friends in Livermore and Pleasanton that they felt it as well. I would guess it to be on the Hayward fault, centered somewhere near San Jose. We experienced no damage nor injuries hear in San Jose. Channel 7 news announced that it was a 5.6 level quake.

I felt it in Salinas, California!

it was a pretty good one, I wasnt sure at first because I have three cats that like to fight under my bed so when that started shakeing I didnt think to much about it. then the closet doors started shakeing and I knew then it was a quake. It didnt seem like a 5.6 but it sure lasted pretty long. I hope everyone who reads this and their familys are ok...godbless

Myy name is Misha jJgarjian. I am ten years old. We live in Lucas Valley, Marin County. We felt the earthquake. I was sitting in my chair watching tv and felt the back rest of my chair jiggle. My mom felt it on the couch. My dad called out did you feel that and then was when I knew we had an earthquake.

For about 15 seconds.. pretty big one

All the way up in Rohnert Park, a good 40+ miles north of San Fran.

I felt it in San Lorenzo. I was making dinner, went to the bathroom an while I was on the toliet, it started rockin and rolling...weird feeling!!!

Oakland rocked!

I live near 8th ave and E. 19th St.

The 3 story building I am in rocked for a good twenty seconds or so, and my neighbor from the 3rd floor came down quite terrified by the event...

L.C.

I live about 3 miles outside of Hughson, and I didn't feel a thing. But a friend in town did. And if someone in Sonora did, I guess I must have just not been paying attention.

Speaking of Sonora, and Turlock, and Merced, and all you other Central Valley people, check out http://www.geocities.com/anarcho209/ for a radical local journal. And keep watching Indybay!

we are in fremont area in CA, USA..I came on holidays to visit my son.At 8.04pm we felt a sort of trembling under our feet while we were watching tv.we all came our from our first floor..No damage occured..All our neighbours were standing outside their houses and all felt the same..For a few seconds we were shocked.

earth quake in California on 30th oct.2007

i was on the bed with my girldfriend in my third floor apartment (which is built on the top of a huge hill) last night. the whole place started shaking back and forth, like a slow sway getting more intense. after a few seconds i realized it was an earthquake and not the upstairs neighbors and grabbed my girlfriend's hand and got under a doorway. once we were standing up i couldn't feel it anymore. still....it was pretty damn scary. and then everything just went back to normal...like nothing even happened.strange.

I was walking up the stairs and i felt my body rumbling. it was a scary 10 seconds but at the same time it was kind a cool/weird feeling.

This is just a preview of what global warming is going to bring. We can thank George Bush for these earthquakes because he did not sign the Kyoto Protocol!
