earthquake 1:42 pm

felt pretty good...

results of a Technorati search for earthquake and Moraga

USGS info here

Centered near Moraga, currently at 3.7 but this can change. I felt a couple of waves, more rolling than a hit. Glad it stopped. Glad it wasn't bigger. I used to think earthquakes were kind of fun. But not since 1989. Some at the search above wish they felt it a little stronger. Hmm not me. Earthquakes are not a free rollercoaster ride. Give thanks for the small ones, don't hope for a bigger one.

Dog prediction of earthquake factor:0 Was sleeping when I felt it. Woke up. Fell asleep quickly.
