Yeah, those are the fun ones. Added some realism to a battle in Deus Ex: Human Revolution that Throbble was playing at the time. Turned on the radio to a local station (KCBS) and it was like:

Host 1: "So, to repeat we just had an earthquake. No information on the magnitude or location yet but we felt it here in downtown San Francisco. How did it feel to you Mary? At first I thought it was a truck going by outside."

Host 2: "Well Bob, I'd say it did feel just like a truck going by outside. Let's take some calls from out listeners."

Caller 1: "Hi, I live in Hayes Valley and I definitely felt it. At first I thought it may just be a truck going by."

Caller 2: "I didn't even know it was an earthquake until someone told me."

Caller 3: "Yeah, I work in downtown San Francisco and I didn't feel anything."

Hilarious!

Today I'm going to walk around and make fun of all the Euro-trash tourists exaggerating the severity of the quake. Good times.

Yeah, SF is mostly on a big hunk of rock which absorbs the shakes. Now that I'm in east bay where the bedrock is below a lot more loose dirt it had more of an effect. They actually gave off a good bang like Hulk gave your house an annoyed punch.

Both Throbble and I noticed a significant increase in helicopter traffic just now even through we're in relatively different parts of the city and then we found out this was happening:

Occupy Protesters Swarm Bank Lobby During Downtown SF March

That's about 10 blocks from where we live.

Mo:
Nice.  There's an Occupy Montreal, downtown here but it's just an excuse for people to pitch tents and do nothing.
