enough already, I can take a hint

We just had a rather dramatic (short, intense wave-like motion) earthquake here in Berkeley--it felt about an M3 by us, which makes sense given that it was apparently a shallow 3.6 at the epicenter, with a 2.3 aftershock. Yes, Hayward fault, we know you're there, please don't feel like you need to remind us of that fact. (Except, of course, small earthquakes relieve the tension that accumulates to cause big earthquakes, but not enough to actually avert the latter.)

Which of course would not be notable at all except that today there were earthquakes felt in all four time zones of the continental U.S. It may well be paranoia (it is paranoia, but the sensible kind), but I've had a particularly bad feeling about earthquakes in the past week or so (the dream yesterday didn't help). I hope that was a pre-echo of today, but I tend to doubt it.

Earthquake kit, ahoy.

Oh, you felt it too, huh?

I'm weirded out by how many earthquakes were felt today.

Ahhh, yeah, that is sliding into the realm of uncomfortable and creepy.

Didn't feel either of them down here in Sunnyvale. I have a theory that the Goddess of plate tectonics is telling us not to tease the east coasters too much.
