i do not like earthquakes
Earthquakes are my least favorite natural disasters. Certainly not to discount the ferocity of hurricanes and wildfires, but at least you can see them coming and have a fighting chance. In the last 10 minutes, along the San Andreas, the following quakes were measured: 5.9, 5.0, 1.9, 4.1, 3.0, 2.8, 4.5, 4.7. I didn't feel anything up here in San Jose, but my co-workers 20 miles north of me did—it was the rolly kind of quake(s).
I certainly hope the people of Parkfield/Coalinga/Paso Robles are ok right now, and that this isn't a sign of more, bigger quakes to come. Freaky San Andreas. Times like these really make me miss the east coast.
