Central Eureka behind the high school.
One jolt that felt more lateral (instead of up and down).
It shook my old Dodge 4wd and sounded like a garage door opening.
Dog gave no warning. Typical. ; )

Downtown Miranda – more of a roller than a shaker. 4.8 sounds about right. (Born and raised within 2 miles of the San Andreas south of San Francisco. Parents and one grand parent born and raised in the same area).

We’ve been over due for one for quite a while. Hang on, though, we MAY get more.

Yes the mighty san Andreas is gonna move big time soon!
Get ur earthquake kits ready for each family member, keep car at half full-full, shoes by ur bed for broken glass and extra food/water/meds/first aid kit in your car that stays in ur car,it could save someone’s life.
And remember we have lots of motorbikes, quads & horses around our county if the roads go out, a caring community and a bunch of amazing volunteer fire dept and search & rescue folks who are in every watershed and are well trained.
We will do much better than the cities and doubtful we’d have martial law in a big quake; the cities will.

Earthquake at 4:20? Is God trying to tell Humboldt something?

I was on the road in Piercy. Nope, I didn’t feel a thing.

Here in Bayside, that was a sharp jolt! My little house shook ,overhead lamps swayed, cups jingled like bells, jars slid along a shelf (nothing broke) & I heard a deep rumble, then I repeated my favorite expletives (loudly). Wowee!

I felt it as I pulled up to the recycling center in Eureka, the whole building shook. They told everyone to get out and move their cars. Two minutes later they let us continue recycling.
