Bay Area Guys - Feel that quake just now?

I know, it was small, but it sent my blood pressure rising. lol. I just suddenly felt the walls shaking/making noises and the ground vibrating. It must only have been a 2.8 or 3.0, but I have been paranoid about quakes for like 2 months now for some odd reason, and I've felt stronger quakes before numerous times. Anyone else feel it?
It was at about ~11:38 PM 4/15/06

Guess what 100-year anniversary is coming up for San Francisco this Tuesday...

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/info/1906/

Here's a visual:



Not to strike fear in you, but some have said now that 100 years have passed, SF is due for a repeat of 1906.

I have been feeling a lot of small quakes recently, but maybe I'm just being more sensitive toward them. dd74, to celebrate that anniversary, our geology class is going to meet with seismologists and have them talk about quakes in the bay area. Should be pretty neat .

Lived in CA all my life, and earthquakes still scare the hell out of me.

I'm with you on that one Toby! If I feel the ground shaking my senses go on red alert immediately. I was under a car when the 89 quake hit. I was an instant track star getting outta there.
