The earthquake we felt a few minutes ago never turned up on the USGS site. Anyone else feel it?

Um, it's directly under our house.

No shit. Latitude and longitude are both less than 2 hundredths of a degree off.

Oddly, the topo map (http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=37.8615&lon=-122.2367&s=100&size=s&u=1&sym=http://earthquakes.usgs.gov/recenteqsUS/x.gif&symx=18&symy=19) is mighty slow loading right now :) )

I just looked at the latitude and longitude and compared them to ours on terraserver.

I felt it too and was somehow able to find it right away on the USGS Web site.

I immediately put the coordinates into Google and found the location to be in Berkeley, around 1500 feet from the intersection of Claremont and Ashby Avenues.

It showed up on the all-earthquake list (http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/quakes0.htm) right away, just not the quake reporting page (http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/ca/) (where it still isn't listed). And yes, we felt it here in SF Chinatown where we're visiting relatives.

Did you feel the shallower 2.2 aftershock right about when you posted? I've always wondered whether a person could feel a 2 right under them.

That is so weird that it still isn't on the quake reporting page.

At the top of this three-story building, it was *ahem* unmistakable, but [livejournal.com profile] alanbostick who was also here for the one on Wednesday, said that one was stronger than last night's. And, if it's under Serene's house, it's under my house.

Thanks for that info.

USGS had its predecessor up within ten minutes or so.
