I live on Telegraph and I can hear alarms going off in one of the dorms. I'm surprised nothing fell off my shelves from that one.

Is it Unit 3? If so, they probably have CalSO people in them now.

Imagine that. What a slogan: "Welcome to Berkeley. Now take cover."

this actually broke a huge pane of glass in one of the windows in my apartment. It looks pretty bad, but no one was hurt.

I was up getting some cereal. Then I was down wondering if the ceiling was going to hold. Apparently I don't trust my building seismically. Not that I should.

I thought my roommate was being a huge fatass and shaking my door... then I woke up and realized it wasn't her. Some stuff fell on the floor here. Man, this one was actually a kinda scary.

I was shocked when my girlfriend told me this morning that it was only a 4.2. Pictures off the walls, wine spilled on the floor (don't worry, not very good wine), and some very frightened people from the east. I haven't been here all that long, but that was the worst one I've felt. Wow. I could live without that again for awhile.

It woke me up, as did the sound of pictures falling off the wall and landing on my floor and desk (not my pictures, floor, or desk - I'm subletting). It definitely scared me more than any of the tiny earthquakes I've felt so far in my one year on the west coast.

From SFgate.com:

"Gordon said about 5,500 people registered this morning to access a map on the USGS Web site, which allows the public to report where the earthquake was felt and how strongly."

And 5,250 of them were from livejournal . . .

4.2 is a jolt, but it's nothing to worry about. It has to get above 6 before you start running out of your home with scissors, and about to 7 before you run out of town with those scissors.
