People felt it all the way up to Sacramento, apparently. I felt it here (between San Mateo and Burlingame); it was amazingly periodic, with around a one second periodicity, for a total of 9 seconds (there was a clacking in the sidewalk outside that kept time with the shaking). Really strange quake, and I've been through a lot of them, including being near the epicenter in a 6.2, in Utah. The regularity of the shaking was really, really surprising to me... the chandelier moved, and the window shades swung, but my wine glasses didn't even clink. Not like any other Earthquake I've ever been in... totally bizarre. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
