Quote:Me & Gene in the parking lot at AFS in SOMA. Once the shaking was done, he dropped me off at the fencing club in The Mission. The house next to the club was leaning up against it, a crack ran down the middle of South Van Ness. The sidewalks crunched with chips of broken marble stairs and bits of broken foundation. Red tags went up on houses all around the club.

Quote:I remember we had just pulled out and were in the middle of the lot, where I stopped my car and we just rode it out. I remember watching the window across the street ripple like water and you saying "This is a long one". Then I dropped you off at Halberstadt and as I got on the freeway on ramp, the emergency broadcast signal came on. I looked back on SF and could see plumes of smoke from the Marina and other places.

[color=rgba(13, 13, 13, 0.9)]A 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook much of the Bay Area Tuesday morning, marking the biggest quake the region has seen in several years. 
The earthquake struck at 11:42 a.m. about 12 miles east of San Jose, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and was felt widely across the area. 
A USGS seismologist said the location of epicenter suggests the earthquake occurred along the Calaveras Fault line. 
So when was the last time the Bay Area saw an earthquake of this magnitude? 
Here’s a look back at earthquakes measured over magnitude 5.0 to hit the Bay Area in the 21st century.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)]South Napa Earthquake — 2014
The magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck northwest of American Canyon on Aug. 24, 2014, killing one person, injuring more than 200 people and damaging over 1,000 buildings in Napa and Solano counties.
According to the California Earthquake Authority, the South Napa Earthquake was felt as far south as Bakersfield and as far north as Arcata in Humboldt County. The quake hit at 3:20 a.m. and caused an economic loss of $400 million, the earthquake authority noted. 
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)]Alum Rock Earthquake — 2007[/color]
The magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck on Oct. 30, 2007 and was felt widely across the South Bay and Bay Area. This quake occurred on the Calaveras fault, according to the earthquake authority, though only caused “minor damage” in San Jose. 
Dr. Lucy Jones with the USGS said Tuesday's earthquake was the largest reported in the South Bay since Alum Rock in 2007.
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)]Yountville Earthquake — 2000[/color]
The 5.0 magnitude earthquake jolted the North Bay overnight on Sept. 3, 2000 and was felt widely in Northern California. 
The California Earthquake Authority reported one death and more than 40 injuries related to the earthquake. Damage from the Yountville earthquake was estimated at $65 million at the time.[/color][/color]
