The second jolt felt stronger to me- but hey, I am right on the fremont Fault and just a couple of miles from the Berkeley epicenter. I took all the pics/glass down in my bedroom (reinforcing better). Frankly, I take being prepared for quakes very seriously. We have a neighborhood org set up to assist elderly and disabled neighbors with turning off gas lines, etc. and ER family contacts, etc. Anyone living in the Bay Area in Ca that doesn't have a plan and supplies for quakes is an idiot and usually the people that screw up effective ways to be safer and aid people that are more vulnerable when these kinds of things happen (the actual "big ones"). Social democracy in action.

Another one! It was 3.6 I think? Gol dangit Bay Area stop shaking! October is always creepy fire and earthquake month.

ain't that the truth..........we certainly are having fire/earthquake weather now and every Oct......

Mark you calendars........

ButchFemme Socials of Oakland/SF present our annual

Winter Ball
Sat, Jan 14, 2012
Humanist Hall
Oakland

more details to come, just wanted to give you a heads up

..... :toypony: ......

Marking it down as a possibility! We were just talking about getting to the Bay Area for social time every once in a while. :D

Yay! That is exactly three years and one month from the night I met Greyson at the Winter Ball. We will so be there! Thank you guys for doing this for our community.

We have several love matches that came about at one of our events...

We don't do this......the volunteers who come and help us out even for half an hour and those who donate money for food, dj, space rental and decorations, so it can be affordable for everyone, do this...it could never happen without the community pitching in and making it happen.....
