We're having earthquake weather up here in San Francisco. What about you?

[EFerrari]

I'm not really looking for trouble but, when this kind of weather hits, I feel uneasy. Tell me I'm wrong. :)

1. Yep, we are too and we are in Los Angeles

[EFerrari]

4. My brother was in Northridge for that quake and I was in Berkeley

for Loma Prieta. You don't forget that stuff. :(

[goclark]

5. Sure don't forget it

We've been in CA for a few...it's never too far from my mind.

2. there might be something to that

We were away for a few days and our cats went bonkers one night. Tore down the drapes on one window, knocked the phone off its stand and half way down the hall, shredded the newspaper and pushed all the mail off the counter onto the kitchen floor. Our neighbor watches the place for us and she said they mobbed her the next morning when she went in to feed them.

She also said she heard coyotes howling last night which I'e only heard once in the last fie years.

Right now its like 105 here and we have three ginormous dogs in the house with us because it's too hot to leave them outside.

Our daughter is going to the city tomorrow to bay-to-breakers it with some of her office crew. Maybe I should tell her to stay home.

Be safe!

3. It may be nothing. My cats aren't climbing the drapes yet.

But I admit, every earthquake we've had has happened during weather just like this so, when it happens, I get a little nervous.

Bay-To-Breakers will likely be great. (What cracks me up, two blocks away from the end point of the race, is all the limos that show up to catch the runners. lol)

6. I don't recall it being this warm

on Oct. 17, 1989. :shrug:

7. It's not the warm, it's the claustrophobic feeling -

Down here inSaneDiego, natives apparently call it a "buttermilk sky". I've heard several oldtimers use the saying "Earthquakes happen when it's a buttermilk sky."

12. I don't remember much about that day because I was in grad school.

No sleep and too much stress. But I remember that it was overcast and warmer than not.

It's not about the heat so much as it is about the stillness.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Yeah, I agree with ya there

Could just be imagination, but it seems that decent-sized quakes are preceded by a rather eerie stillness, almost vacuum-like, as if the Earth sucked up the ambient energy.

[Irishonly]

8. I Wish I Could

Good grief, it's hot. I miss my cats, Charlie and Sammie. Charlie would weird out every time a couple of days before an earthquake. Normally he was devoted to Sammie but just before an earthquake, he was a bully.

9. stop it

x(

[EFerrari]

13. Well, maybe it was just my paranoia.

I'll gladly take the hit!

10. I am within sight of the San Andreas

out here in Coachella Valley . There is an o asis, of California desert fan palm as it might have been 150 years ago, where the SA fault comes right through it.It's close. There's not a day, I don't think about it.
Oh yeah record breaking heat . lots of coyote reports,

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Just had the quake

Only a 2.6, but less than three miles from my house.

14. Anticipating a quake in CA is like predicting the sunrise.

lol

I hope your quake is what my spidey sense was goofing on. :)

[Auggie]

16. The fog is back. We can relax.
