A moderate earthquake just hit San Jose area. USGS link
Definitely the strongest one I have felt since I moved to California 5 years ago.
Earthquake hit while I was in a class. It took me about 5-10 seconds to realize what the heck was going on before diving under the desk. Everyone else in my class followed suit.
A ceiling panel looked ominously close to falling free, but the shaking stopped after about 20 seconds, so it hang on.
After our class went out into the parking lot, everyone started calling their friends and relatives, but almost no one could get through. Interestingly enough text messages did go through.
Overall this was a very good exercise for me in terms of what to do and how to react during an earthquake.
Anyone else felt it?
