No major damage - some groceries off the shelf in downtown Bolinas, but otherwise no bad stuff - except reminding all the oldtimers how much '89 sucked. No injuries I've heard.

Piecea cake on the ground floors...although I talked to someone who was in my building on the 27th floor. It's apparently a lot scarier up there, at maybe 500 feet up, because the quake telescopes through the building much like a tuning fork, and the tops of the buildings sway a lot more than the bottoms. So it feels more like a 5-something. But what is truly horrendous about them is the first few seconds. Because you don't know when it starts if it's going to be "The Big One."
