…is what we’re doin!
Didn’t feel a thing.
I didn’t feel it all in Pittsburg. According to Google Earth it was located at Buchanan field.
Felt a quick jolt near Pleasant Hill BART
I didn’t feel a thing either, and I’m sitting down. Weird that it was so big, but not many people felt it.
First first first. Oh sorry. Wrong blog.
I felt it. I’m the only one in my house who did though. Water in the fishtank started swooshing around. Good little jolt.
I felt it in martinez
I felt it, barely, while upstairs, but was not felt downstairs. Had to make sure it was a quake at the USGS site. Live near Ayers & Clayton road.
I live in Concord. Felt a minor shake.
Embarrased about the last post. Not first. Anyway my 88 year old dad just called me to see if I felt it. He did not feel it but my niece from San Jose called him to see if he was OK.
Also felt it in Martinez though I also was the only one in my house who felt it. One good wiggle of my old house and that was it.
My husband and I both felt it. I was on the back deck and our deck creeked and the table vibrated for like a second. Then I asked my husband if we just had and earthquake and he was like Ya, I think so although nothing really moved, It was like a split second. I guess we are due
USGS making up earthquakes to justify their jobs again.
Boo, I didn’t feel it here in Turtle Creek. And I was in the ideal earthquake experiencing position: lying down.
Definitely felt it in Pleasant Hill – a big jolt!
Felt it over on Elderwood in Pleasant Hill. Just a quick jolt…
Felt it in P Hill. You had to be sitting down. Minor shake/jolt.
Damn.I thought my portrait of Mao Tse Tung was crooked. Usually leans left.
I didn’t feel it , but my dog was acting wierd , and now I know why.
Didn’t feel it!!!
Sounds like we’re outsourcing our earthquake experiences to Pleasant Hill !!!
Our cat hid under the bed this morning. The thought that he might have sensed an earthquake was coming, crossed my mind.
I was over at Hillcrest and thought it was just the old floor creaking I was standing on.
And I missed it, we need a 4.2 as so I could feel it, been awhile.
In North Concord
Felt it on treat and oak grove. My whole couch jumped from west t east end to end very quick as if my room mates husky bumped he couch. Once I saw no Pitt bull or husky near the couch I started waiting for an aftershock I was disappointed.
Thanks mayor for confrming my suspicion and being fast on the report
I didnt feel it but, friends told me it knocked the parmesan off the table @ Olive Garden.
Quick jolt over in PH Gregory Gardens..I mean, quick as blink and you missed it..We’ve had stronger ones.
This is the first I’ve heard of the quake. I was at John Muir Med Center Concord at that time, 3rd floor, and didn’t feel feel a thing. I don’t think anyone on that floor noticed any shaking.
I was at a store in the Park and Shop, and didn’t feel a thing.
Was sitting in class at Brandman U on the 2nd flr but didn’t feel anything. Dang!
Hmm, usually I or the dog notice these things. Nothing. But than again I was engrossed in my remedial algebra and trig. It all comes back so quickly, I will be done with my class in 6 weeks
Oh, this reminds me, I still have to get an emergency supply of bottled water/canned food. I keep putting it off. Hopefully the big ‘one’ doesn’t hit soon.
Then again if I’m in this ’40s house when it happens I will be crushed under all the plaster and poor construction anyway …
I didnt feel a thing and didnt know anything about it until I read it here. My dog didnt move, my fish tank did nothing, the guinea pig slept and the hamster ate. Nothing here….
Felt it in Pleasant Hill across from the mall. I was sitting on my bed, it was minor but enough to bounce me – two quick jolts.
I’m in N Concord, and didn’t feel it
I totally felt it. House shook just a bit, not much, enough to make my tv sway (wouldn’t hear that in 89)
But no doubt, it was felt in the Monument area.
I did feel this quake, shook the house a bit thought it was just the wind kicking up, Thanks for posting the info on it.
Confused about the time… it says
Date-Time Wednesday, September 01, 2010 at 01:26:55 UTC
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 06:26:55 PM at epicenter
So was it the middle of the night, or yesterday evening? Why the two times?
The top time is Universal Coordinated Time, which is overseas. The bottom time shows our time, which was 6:26pm.
Nope…didn’t feel it. I was driving to Walnut Creek to get my “gelato fix” for the day.
In that case I was out riding and did not feel it.
It felt like a pretty violent side-to-side shaking here. Of course, we live in a mobile home, and right across the street from Buchanan Field, so we were right on top of it. I’m surprised it was only 3.2….it definitely felt like a bigger quake here! Our pet birds were still squawking half an hour later.
I had no idea, however I was glued to the TV last night watching earthquake specials. WEIRD!
Only those of us sitting at the dinner table felt it. It was quick like when a big truck is going too fast past your house.
I was at the airport at 6:30 on the East ramp and didn’t feel a thing.
Not to worry, that was only Helen Roseville Fellon packing her bags. I’ll bet you PENNYS she gets S*#t, I mean VIP seating with all her buds at the symphony at the Plaza event next week while we the people sit in the back on the wet grass. I know bring water ballons and cool her off as a going away celibration. Helen doesn’t deserve a welcome after what she has done to our city.
