Quake

Last night, there was a 5.6 quake on the Calveras Fault, NW of San Jose, which counts as the biggest quake I've felt in since living in earthquake territory. It rattled the house, set the hanging coffee cups swinging and made us realize we don't have the shelves in the house bolted. It rumbled long enough for my housemates and I to look at each other and say, oh, it IS an earthquake, not just a truck driving by. But, the power stayed on and everything was quiet afterwards.
