@Kachina624  Thank you for letting us know!

@JudyL  Thank you for checking in on me, JudyL💗! I'm ok in San Francisco- I felt it a little, but it wasn't too bad. I was so busy baking gingerbread and doing chores that I didn't notice it too much. How are you? Did you feel it? I hope you're doing well 😊💗! I'm located far from the beach, but I hope that the people in the Sunset district and the Marina aren't effected by any high waves that could potentially happen.  I'm thinking good thoughts for everyone effected by the earthquake. 🙏

My aunt and uncle are in the san fran area and they have someone watching their cat in their house while away. The cat sitter said he didn't feel anything.

So it seems the earthquake was farther north about 200 miles from the San Francisco area. 

Reported by the US geological survey the epicenter was offshore in Cape Mendocino and Petrolia in Humbolt cty. That most of the shaking was offshore is good news

and hopefully not as much dammage as feared.

@SportyShorty07   OMG! I just read this, I had no idea!

                            I'm glad that you are safe and that there was no Tsunami. An event like that is so scary and destructive.

  I don't think that I could ever relax, living in California. Just

the thought of an earthquake is so frightening. Let's just hope and pray that there are none happening in the future that cause devastation as some have in the past. I hope that all are safe from this recent event.

 We are near a fault line on the east coast and have had a couple of very minor earthquakes. I hope that we never experience anything serious.

 We get an occasional hurricane, but nothing like the southern states. Any extreme weather conditions and storms are scary.

   Again, I'm glad that you are safe, sweet girl.

@Enufstuff  Thank you for your kind words and concern, Donna 💗! It is interesting to be born and raised in San Francisco. I was one year old when the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that caused millions and millions of dollars of damage and killed 63 Bay Area residents.  San Francisco had a ton of damage and my parents set up a tent that night on 10/17/1989  in the backyard and they slept in the tent with my big sister and myself. My big sister was almost 3 and I had recently turned 1.  My parents said that I kept squirming down to the bottom of the blankets in the tent and that they had to keep scooping me up into their arms or next to them throughout the night.  My parents house wasn't damaged, but many other houses in San Francisco were damaged.  Earthquakes can be very destructive and scary. 

    I've felt little earthquakes here and there throughout my life, and one time I was sitting in a chair and the chair swayed back and forth and I almost fell out of it during an earthquake. I'm glad that you've only had small earthquakes where you live near Boston. I also hope that you never experience any severe earthquakes, sweet Donna! 💖

So relieved that your daughter and you are ok.  I've always heard that part of CA was going to fall off into the ocean.  I don't know if that's ever happened in any area with a fault line near the ocean.

I live in So Ca or Central as some see it.  Didn't feel anything.   I live about 1 mile from a tsunami flood plain and not too far off is a militry base which would be compromised with any incoming hostile fire.  

Let's stay informed folks.
