I didn't feel it in twin peaks, my wife was up drinking coffee in the bedroom lounge and said something. By the time I rolled over It was long over.

Its not an earthquake unless the dog gets drunk on broken liquor bottles.

All these people asleep at 9am, I remember those days. Didn't feel it here in the east bay.

I didn't realize a 3.6 was anything to write home about in S-F. Everyone talks like Cali is one big earthquake.

It's not. We have sub 4.0 quakes ALL THE TIME, but they're usually fairly deep and in more remote areas that aren't felt by people. 3.6 is like "a heavy semi-truck driving by your house" levels of shake.

You scarcely hear of any sort of damage from a sub-5.0 quake, and the real scary ones don't really start until 6.0+

This is just to scare people from moving to California. Shit's too crowded yo

Lived by SF for a little while and never had an earthquake

I'm missing out!

D:

Edit: one that I felt to the point where it woke me up or felt the bed shake

I just found out about it yesterday. Nobody tells me these things are going on beforehand.
Umm. I sent you a note. I put the note on your doorstep. I put it in a paper bag so in case it rained and I didn't want it to get wet. I even set the bag on fire so that you would see it if it was really dark outside. But I didn't stop there. I put some dung inside so it would give off a pungent aroma so you definitely couldn't miss it.

You know, if you're not even going to read a simple note I may as well stop trying. šŸ˜”

I didn't realize we had an earthquake until I read it on the news. This wasn't really noticeable downtown.
