It just flashed on the news...

Near the San Jose area they said....


Anyone near there?

5.3 ain't much...prolly very minimal damage.

we're DUE for a good one. been way too long and way too quiet.

i'd rather deal with the tornados here myself...

ya it's not too bad, but they acted like it was a pretty major thing....


I have been through enough of them, but always from a distance that didn't cause much damage.

5.3 is big enough to cause some good damage if it's the right type I think.
