5.6 Earthquake Hits the Bay Area

Twenty two minutes ago a 5.6 earthquake hit the Bay Area. My family and I felt the quake. We first heard a loud thundering noise and then our condo shook mildly for about 30 seconds. We immediately grabbed our son and, along with the friends we had over for dinner, hustled outside where all of our neighbors had also retreated.We're all okay. This quake wasn't too large. I'd imagine there were no serious injuries sustained from this quake. The epicenter looks to be in Alum Rock.This wasn't only my son's first earthquake, it was also my first earthquake.See, this is why we pay the expensive cost of living on the San Francisco Peninsula--life's just so exciting out here.
