Jangy,

sure they are fine. i live about 5 min.'s north of mill valley. shook our house here pretty good for about 25 seconds, but seems not major. baby girl, our spaniels (dogs), family and the e55 are all resting okay. may not hurt to call, but should be just fine. thanks.

aintME-the jolt from launch in our 55's condition us better than most for these things.

Nothing much at all. Just enough to be a conversationally topic. Can't imagine it would damage or hurt anything.

nothing compares to being in the center of a big ol' quake. I've been through lots of them, but in Jan of 94, dead in the middle of northridge, the epicenter 1/2 mile away... boy, that was nutty.

I totally feel like CA is due for another big quake... I really feel it in my bones... I just ordered all this earthquake putty stuff last week.

Good one. Being from Chicago I had no clue what a quake was until I was on business in the Pomona area 10 years ago asleep in a hotel room. I woke up in a panic thinking I had a nightmare that someone was in the room shaking my friggin bed. I looked around and...no one was there !!! Next morning I saw on the news there was an earthquake.....verrry strange feeling for sure.
