Hey, that was supposed to happen at the Series game last night. Whenever the Giants play their first home game there is always an enormous earthquake in the Bay Area.

1989 was pretty scary, so thanks for absorbing the shock this year VelikM.

Hello!!! :o

I hope everything is o.k.

Spyros.

No damage or people hurt just rudely awakened :o don’t really need that at 3:27AM. The area where it was felt the strongest is sparcely populated.

Not really strange, you’re approx 1,500 miles away, what you would feel wouldn’t even register as an earthquake.

All it disrupted this time was some sleep. You can host next year though.

Geesh, just reminds me I live in an area prone to earthquakes.

Lately though, it`s been pretty calmed…

Like in the calm before the storm?
