yes, the rumors are true... the bay area just had an earthquake. hells yeah. it was really cool. lasted about 10 seconds, side-to-side motion. 5.2 at the epicenter which is about 30 miles from here, probably closer to 3.6 here. big enough to be fun, small enough that some people didn't even feel it. but i think it was awesome.
