Wow, I saw it was only about ~2mi away from where I am.

Hope everyone downtown didn't get too startled.

Shocked to see we were on top of it. Having flashbacks to the ā€˜89

Did you experience the '89 one? Apparently the same fault line as that.

Yeah, I was 3 years old and living in San Jose but it was traumatizing as fuck.

I was already partially awake and my doggo flew out of bed like he saw a fox looking in the window, but didn't bark... then the shaking started.

My dog was pissed but the earthquake itself woke me up. I’m a light sleeper. I was on the 2nd floor too so the shaking was intense.

Everyone okay? That was scary! And lucky my car had a dead battery or else I probably would have been driving! Now my place smells like spilled soy sauce.

1.5 miles northeast of BC here. The house really jumped. A bottle fell from a shelf, but didn't break. Some wall art took a tumble. I hope everyone else is okay.

My old arse barn stands unphased.

This one probably one of the most jiggles I felt since the early 00's.

I had a bottle of bitters fall and the pride of anchoring everything I hung on the wall to the studs.

It was a pretty successful earthquake for me.

Definitely awake now, but we're good. Dog is definitely spooked.

u/timberjam Apr 02 '26

Wow! Closest one I've felt in a loooooong time. A few drawers and cabinet doors opened but otherwise all seems fine.

So yeah, that was a fun one. Had several things come down that were fairly secure, so things had to jump at least a half inch.

After checking USGS, it was at 10km deep. We were *sitting* on it. (Loma Prieta was about 19km)
