5.6 magnitude earthquake around 15 km north of San Jose, near Fremont. I was sitting in a small conference room for my Lunar-X meeting when things started to shake at around 1/2 Hz to 1 Hz. Table was swaying, could feel the building sway. We kinda looked around and said “Huh, that’s pretty interesting.” As it continued past 10 seconds, we were going “Wow, this looks like a big one.” The general mood was mild amusement. As it diminished (total duration of around 20 seconds), someone humorously remarked “Shouldn’t we be under a table or something?”

Yeah, it was kinda cool. Within 5 minutes, USGS reported the magnitude and location. Nothing like some reports here, where they have pictures of people under tables.

This week? Midterm for 214 on Friday, horrible homework due Thursday. Yeah.
