An earthquake and an aftershock, both on the Hayward Fault near Berkeley, rattled the Bay Area on Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.The first quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 4.0, struck at 2:41 p.m. The second, a 3.8, was at 8:16 p.m.

| San Francisco Earthquake 1906 |
Well it's common for us here in California to feel a couple shifts and shakes a couple times a year. But this time it was almost surreal because the first one occurred during active school hours, which is pretty out of the norm for me. I guess I'll just share my opinions since I have less than ten minutes to zoom through this.
The first earthquake happened during 5th period during physiology with Wilson. We were taking notes and suddenly there was a loud rumble and the room shook a little. I didn't think much of it. Maybe someone jumping around outside, that one fat kid fell again, or just a loud truck. It took me a while to realize it was an earthquake. But no one died... so I don't understand why people were screaming and freaking the fuck out. Calm yo clitoris gurl.

The second earthquake was while I was at home. I was browsing the web when I hear my mom screaming and freaking out. I ask her what's wrong and she proceeds to ask if I had just felt the earthquake. Well I had headphones on and I was wondering why the bass suddenly got really intense, but other than that, I didn't think much about it.
After it all ended, I went off on my mom because I've been warning her about earthquakes and how a lot of people are predicting that a big one is going to hit soon. I've stressed the importance of emergency supplies and earthquake kits to her, but she disregards my feeble attempts and brushes me off like a piece of lint. OKAY NOW YOU LISTEN THEN. I swear, sometimes it's like I'm the parent taking care of a child. But that's okay, safety first kids.
I encourage everyone to have a plan or emergency preparedness kit/plan in case a disaster does occur. Happy Friday.
