Shaky ground for sunny skies

So I know I only have myself to blame, but man, what a crazy idea to live across the street from a faultline!! This morning at 4:42am, Arthur (my roomie) and I woke up to a nice 4.2 quake that was epicentered just 5.6mi away from my apartment!!

Here's a link to the map of it, if it works:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=37.8075+-122.188(M4.2%20-%20SAN%20FRANCISCO%20BAY%20AREA,%20CALIFORNIA%20-%202007%20July%2020%20%2011:42:22%20UTC)&ll=37.8075,-122.188&spn=2,2&f=d&t=h&hl=e

Nothing was harmed, besides the fallen picture frame here and there, and the heightened nerves. I couldn't get any more sleep this morning worrying for aftershocks (none of which materialized thank goodness). I know it's a really small one on the whole scale of things, but man, I really haaaattte earthquakes. They are so scary.

What we all do to live in glorious California, huh? =)
