Two Earth Quakes In One Day....

We've had two relatively small but definitely noticeable earth quakes today, which is pretty unusual.... the first one this afternoon, the last one just a few minutes ago....(the last time I remember that happening was a few days before the '89 quake)

Just as there are "after shocks" prior to a larger quake, there are also frequently "pre-shocks"...

I think I'll spend a little time checking our earth quake emergency cache (especially the batteries for the radios and flashlights)

I was in Concord for the first... albeit a passenger in a truck; and I felt nada.

The aftershock was whist I was heading home on BART, and again nada.

These are miniscule in comparison to what the San Andreas can offer- what's the big deal?
