I would have suggested alien invasion, but the city canceled the annual Halloween street party in the Castro.Ahhh, you won't have to worry. We've had it all now.

Fern,
17th runs parallel to Mariposa. Do you mean the barn at 17th and Bryant?
Btw, there is a Whole Foods here now. Safeway at the Potrero Center has an entire organic section to keep from losing customers.
You can tell I moved away. The barn is on Mariposa & Bryant. Where's the Whole Foods? I remember when the Safeway shopping center opened, and when the Costco opened nearby. We used to sneak out on weekends to get hot dogs for lunch (when we weren't running downstairs to buy tomales or ice cream from the vendors).

Did anyone else feel the aftershock around 3:55pm today? Several of us in the office (in Cupertino) felt something and sure enough, same spot as last night and it was a magnitude 3.7.
I didn't notice the aftershock this afternoon either. Do you work for Apple or HP? I live in Cupertino.

HP - how did you guess?
Intensity is much more related to local geology than it is to proximity to the actual earthquake location. During the 1986 Loma Prieta quake, for example, the most intense shaking occurred in waterfront areas in Oakland and San Francisco, not in the south Bay close to the epicenter. During the 1904 San Francisco quake, Stockton had much more intense shaking than did areas of San Francisco such as Twin Peaks and Potrero.
See here and here. You felt it more in Modesto because much of the soil in the Modesto area is loose sedimentary soil. Areas on the west side of Modesto, where there is shallow groundwater, should have had the most intense shaking in the Modesto area.
Santa Cruz was hit very hard by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
