The 4.4 Petaluma tremor of 2006

I saw things in the apartment shifting around a little at around 8:18 p.m. tonight and felt some shaking. The futon seems like a better place to watch an earthquake from than the computer chair so I moved and by the time I was situating myself (this obviously wasn’t a very major quake where I was) the shaking had stopped. Jessica was seeing a show with a friend tonight during that time and just told me now on the phone that she didn’t feel anything where she was (downtown at the performance of A Chorus Line). Here in the Outer Richmond of San Francisco we had a little tremor or aftershock or whatever but epicenter seemed much higher north according to reports. As the AP via the San Jose Mercury News reports:
“A magnitude 4.4 earthquake shook the San Francisco Bay area Wednesday night, but no serious injuries or damage were immediately reported.”
