Three 3.0+ Earthquakes

on April 23, 2009

Probably my first memory as a kids was an earthquake.  The Loma Prieta Earthquake 10/17/1989,  I was not even 4 years old yet.  My mom was cooking dinner, my Dad was doing some work in a library, and my older sister and I were probably playing.  And it shook hard.  Nothing broke in our house but there was a lot of damage throughout the Bay Area.  Earthquake have always facinated me.  I think it’s quite the sensation to fell the ground quaking beneath you.

Tonight there were three earthquakes magnitude 3.0, 3.8 and 4.0 just some 20 miles from our apartment.  I felt the 3.8 and the 4.0 for sure; the 3.0 followed the 4.0 by only a minute so I may have felt that one too.  It got me excited and I thought I should share with all of you.

    FYI: it is 103 years and 5 days since the large 7.8 magnitude earthquake which stuck San Francisco in 1906.

    Since I am no longer living in CA, when people find out I am from CA, they always are like, “there’s earthquakes there!” I always try to explain to them that earthquakes are fun and I would rather have an earthquake than a tornado any day. They normally don’t get it.

    Like I tell everyone in Wisconsin, Earthquakes are fun as long as nothing breaks.
