I felt this at Cupertino!! I was watching my high school's choir concert.

I THOUGHT it was just a large truck passing by BUT....

I saw the rows of chairs in front of me, and the lighting fixture above me SWAY. It startled EVERYONE in the the auditorium, including the girls performing, but NO ONE RAN OUT.

i felt this 35 miles away in mountain view when i used to live there.. not i live like 20 miles from this faultline.. i hope its not very active.. the whole japan thing kinda puts bad thoughts in ur mind as fart as quakes go.. i have a feeling this one by almaden never really shakes hard but the big California quake is expected.. not to sound rude but im glad California dosnt fuck around with nuclear reactors like japan does

Isn't this the same store as that drunk guy sleeping on the floor video?

I was doing my science project, about cells, when the ground started shaking, and I was like " What the" I threw my project wet with paint across my room and ran out like crazy. Luckily nothing happened, the next morning you would hear a short conversation about the earthquake. Just telling my perspective when this happened to San Jose

I remember watching the Lakers-Rockets game while eating. When it started I stood for 3 sec deciding whether to eat or run out, so I ran out while eating. By the time I reached the door it stopped. I lived in Blossom Hill in South San Jose at the time.

i remember this. our computer was rattling our TV was shaking. it was deep! and long.the next day there was another one mag 4.5 that was harder than the first one.

you must all live in California. NAh.....i live in Melbourne, Australia- we get atlest one small quake everyday and a 6.0 about every 30 years in South Eastern Victoria. Ones over due- WAY OVER DUE!(try atleast since settlement in this country which was in the mid 1700's) felt a few in March. They were 4.6 and the second one (12 days later) was 4.5 and some say 4.6 but you get the point- we don't panick from quakes here- were all sorta used to them! BTW- the second quake wasn't an aftershock!

You're crazy, I was on the second floor of a building off alum rock and white and I thought the building was going to collapse. This was a big one, at least in the alum rock area. There was one 2 nights ago but it was real small
