All my building did is vibrate in this weird, buzzy sort of way because it's anchored to the solid bedrock of Telegraph Hill. Down where you are, your building is constructed on sand, fill, and possibly the shore of an long-filled lagoon. That's why your couch lurched like it did.

That's what you get for living in a shitty neighborhood. :-P

We just recently had a 6.3 out here in the Pacific ( I live in Maui ) The scary part about that is they say it only takes one a little above a 7.0 to start a tsunami. Yikes! great blog BTW.

You get used to it :) After a while I'd be on the phone with relatives back East - a quake would hit; and I wouldn't flinch in my conversation. 1) because it didn't phase me, anymore & 2)I knew my family would freak out if I told them that while on the phone with them. Heck one time I slid across the floor in my chair - to the point that the phone was disconnected from the wall. As you can see I'm dating myself with the landline phone statement. I lived in S.F. from about '73-'82. Glad you got through your first tremor.

and to think I didn't even feel it! I suppose I don't really care about the shaking so much as I don't want to clean up the mess later.

I grew up in the Bay Area, so I've been through my fair share of quakes (including the '89 Loma Prieta quake, which at magnitude 6.9, was over 1500 times as strong as the 3.7 you felt). Having the earth move under you is really unnatural, and it's something I'll never get used to, or take lightly.
