made the news up here in victoria...but being in "the zone" these things tend to get reported all the time as a reminder that sooner or later it will be in our yard...

I felt half a minute of shaking on either Sunday or Monday, can't remember which because my hangovers last a few days. Nice shaking. I lay there thinking how interesting it was.

I know we're due for a major one in So. Cal. It's been over a decade, and we can be sure the earth beneath us won't be relatively silent like this for too much longer.

the weather guy on tv said why no tsunami? because the bottom of the sea was moving side to side and not up and down during the earthquake. not all earthquakes are alike, I suppose.
it's the up and down movement that causes them tsunamis...

Yeah, I didn't feel a thing either.
I wonder how much of the East Bay would actually be at risk from a tsunami.

I didn't feel jack either. I doubt we east bay have too much to worry about. I think the tsunami would hit SF and drop into the bay (Twin Peaks and San Bruno Mountain might shield a bit) before it got to us. If I was at work I'd probably be screwed though as I'm at the Oakland airport which sits right on the bay. I'm sure we'd get wet. LOL

Yeah, that seems most likely. Although I don't know my physics well enough to say what would happen to the portion that came through the Golden Gate. I'm sure the army corps of engineers has probably figured it out exactly with The Bay Model.
It would be kinda cool to see a giant wave take out the Golden Gate Bridge. Unless you were on it, I suppose.

Maybe the "HUGE" in the thread title is a little misleading...

That was in the title of the article at the time I posted. Yahoo! changes the title of their articles with every revision.
