My wife and I felt the earthquake here in Martinez and thought it was pretty strong. A friend in Pleasant Hill said he didn’t notice it at all. Go figure…
I BARELY felt it downtown, west side of town. Nobody else in the house felt it. I had to go check USGS to see if I was trippin’!

Quick jolt and a slight shake. Enough to pay attention

Sorry, that was me. It wasn’t a full blown black hole.
More of a disordered near-singularity.
I couldn’t afford actually infinite density.
And now PG&E is all pissed at me. 🤷 🕳️
Geez Atticus, as far as earthquake poems go, well the first line didn’t even rhyme with anything…. the rest was ok…Kinda Sheldon Cooperish… I had to look up all the words.

Critique this one:
*
Be calm & don’t shout
Don’t run all about
Just because Earth shakes beneath your feet!
You’re tougher than that
Just because you’re all fat
Does not mean that you’re easy to beat!
*
Stand steady and swear
Shake a fist in the air
“I ain’t scared of ya stupid earthquake”
And when it lasts longer
And then it gets stronger
You feel your calm starts to break….
*
But it suddenly stops
Your anxiety drops
Before coming here you heard friends warn ya
They tax all your bucks
Their government sucks
And land shakes & quakes in California!

I live by DVC near Chilpancingo Pkwy and did not feel anything.
Near DVC.
I was standing and didn’t feel it.
Wife was sitting and did feel it.
Ditto, …but I was standing, and Hubby was sitting, … Concord near CNWS.
It made the water cooler jug splash and do a little dance, … LOL!
I felt it in Antioch by black diamond mines. I told my daughter, ” I think I just felt the ground move”.
