#2This was the strongest earthquake I felt since I moved to Bay Area ten years ago. Luckily, it was quite short. Woke me and all my friends in the SF and vicinity up though.

Second strongest I remember in my 16 years here, with the 2014 Napa Quake being notably more shaking.

I usually don’t wake up to these but this one jolted me awake. I wish I had slept through this one though.

#6Seems like a minor earthquake. Does it deserve top of HN?

Same. Been 12 years in SF and this was the strongest. We were awake as well so we felt the whole thing. I think I saw the walls move.
Luckily it was short.

I would assume someone new to CA would find it concerning.
It's fun to think about it - some Japanese people would move to CA just because of the more stable geology.

Contrast that with my experience in Ireland - 10 years and I heard thunder only twice, and saw a lightning strike only once. We sometimes get alerts due to some tropical storm that made its way up here, and the most we need to do is to collect our garbage bins and avoid biking because of the gusts.
