Day off from work. I was sitting and reading, eating a late breakfast, when I felt our house begin to shake gently. It went on for a good 2-3 seconds, long enough for me to start thinking about ducking under the table. Then it was over. If I hadn’t been sitting and reading I could easily have missed feeling it entirely.
USGS Web site says it was magnitude 4.1 quake centered somewhere around Milpitas.
Felt more like a door slam here, 20 miles away. Then I remembered, “I’m home alone. Must be a 4.1-4.2..” Time to think about an earthquake kit. Again.
The first thing I thought: a Tori Amos album.
Hold tight!
