I've been looking at pictures online and trying to figure out how close to the epicenter my parents house is. From what I understand, it was just about 3-4 miles away. Too close for comfort.
The green arrow points to their house, the orange circle is where I believe the epicenter is. The epicenter is 7 miles from Milpitas (top left corner) and 5 miles from Alum Rock (bottom center).
My dad was sure thinking ahead when he built a steel-frame house (can "give" more than wood houses), but they gotta quit having so many adventures!

Yikes - those of us who have experiences nearness to tornadoes think earthquakes are MUCH worse! Scarey. Glad they are all OK.
I guess my last house was about 10 miles away. I only felt ONE while I lived there, and it was only about a 2.2, lol.
glad everyone is ok- very close.
We get little earth quakes in NJ too- did you know that we have the biggest fault after CA here and it's on the other side of town :O
I'm one of the only idiots carrying earthquake insurance on my house in town. Well since I didn't need flood I figured I might as well- you never know.
Have 6 more blocks ready for tomorrow's sewing :) that would be 2 of 7 rows complete. I really need to figure how many more of these jelly rolls I need to finish the quilt. But I also want to look at Judy L's pattern Kaitlin and do that totally scrappy ....need to put this inklingo to good use
We live in Cali too and I didn't feel anything. Maybe we are too high up.
