4.7 Earthquake

This morning at 5:24 we had a small (4.7) earthquake. I talked to several people who felt it, but I didn't.

Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow. A friend and I are planning to go to an exhibit in Fremont where people can walk down inside the Hayward Fault.

I think earthquakes contributed a lot to my interest in science while growing up. They're definitely something I miss about living in CA.

I can't believe you would miss earthquakes.. they scare the crap out of me... and I have never even felt one... I think its the fact that you dont know the earthquake is coming..... eeeek...

Earthquakes-and you sleep through them?! Hey it's Bethan here from Windsor Hall in Reading-just thought I'd say hi, now that I now have a blog account too! It's really interesting reading all about you through your blogs. And many congratulations on your Ph.D. Dr Haughland!

Of course I'm not there and an earthquake happens. I still wonder what they are like to experience.
