Quake!!

Woooo! We’re having an earthquake as I type this. The desk is moving from side to side, though not strongly enough to flop anything down from shelves. No loss of power.

The Sweet One says there were some books and files falling off the shelves in her office in San Jose. No damage, no one hurt. A buddy down the block, who was relaxing on his couch, says he didn’t even feel it in the least.

Okay, over now. That was vaguely disorienting, almost enough to give me a little motion sickness. First one I felt here in Mountain View for over two years.

A Few Minutes Later: This was a 6.5, centered about 130 miles south of here not far from Hearst Castle outside of San Luis Obispo. Apparently felt well into Southern California too as comments on MetaFilter show.
