I felt it as just a slight swaying; by the time I realized it was a quake, it was over.  My upstairs neighbors suddenly started moving around.  I went to stand in a doorway briefly in case of aftershocks, but fairly shortly came back to the computer to see if it had really been a quake, and if so how strong and where.  Sure enough, the <a href=\"http:\/\/quake.usgs.gov\/recenteqs\/\">USGS Recent Earthquakes in California and Nevada<\/a> page was showing a quake of unknown intensity; reloading a couple minutes later gave the actual magnitude.  They've got a page on which you can report your experience of a given quake, to help them <a href=\"http:\/\/pasadena.wr.usgs.gov\/shake\/STORE\/X40133364\/ciim_display.html\">map how and where people felt it<\/a>.  Pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>Kind of interesting, too, because yesterday at The Tech Kam was showing us some interesting earthquake-modeling software that shows how the quake waves propagate through the Earth&#8212;took less than ten minutes for the shock of various big quakes to go through the whole planet.  We also stood on the quake-simulator platform, which gave us a bit more shaking than I felt in today's real quake.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 5.2-magnitude earthquake hit just south of Gilroy (between 25 and 50 miles south of here), about half an hour&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
