5.1 Magnitude Earthquake Near San Jose, CA
Loma Prieta in ~1989 was NUTS.<p>I lived in lake tahoe at the time and was a freshman in HS and was at football practivce at 5:04 PM when it happened, and my dad was waiting in the car and it car shook so much he got out because he thought us kids were pranking him by jumping on his bumper....<p>This 5.1 is a good thing, as it has relieved geo-stress... (I hope!)<p>but as a california native, I think of earthquakes like I do california poppies (which I just planted a bunch of) they are magnificent, just dont pick any...<p>EDIT: The 1989 earthquake was also in october.... October 11 I think... but I wonder if the seasonal shift in temperatures affect earthquakes. As October is generally the best month in the bay area weather-wise...
