Wayward Hayward: 3.4 earthquake


Yesterday, at about 3:45 p.m., precisely when I was standing in front of all those metal cabinets in my office digging through my files for something on the Council of Deans, a 3.4 trembler shook the entire Bay Area. Apparently, the Hayward faultline decided to remind everyone that it's waking up. No casualties, no damage. Yet one more little jolt to jostle us out of our reverie. I remember that this time last year, on Ash Wednesday, a little trembler also shook the Bay Area.

Visit the Berkeley Seismological Lab to find out how soon before you'll feel the shakes after a quake hits.

I can't believe I left town before experiencing my first earthquake! Blast!

PS, I'll be back around in April. We should catch up!
