Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] SFO Quake

Bridges are all fine. Napa & Sacramento looks like they were hit the hardest. Pretty much everyone in the Northbay woke up. My in ground pool was swaying and sending waves into the fence. I woke up this morning and the pool was still full so that is good.

I live in the Northbay, Sonoma county and we are all okay. We were certainly rockin' & rollin' but no damage or injuries. This one was actually worse for us than the 1989 quake because the epicenter was much closer than 89. I appreciate the concern.

The major *geologic/seismic* difference is that the California coastal system is
a plate boundary that is sliding sideways and the New Zealand system is a megathrust subduction zone, which typically can produce the worst shakers.
