This morning we had an earthquake about 12 miles east of San Jose, with a magnitude about 5.1. That is the preliminary estimate. It is the biggest quake in the area in nearly a decade. People are asked to stay on alert in case of aftershocks or a stronger jolt. I was in the library and there was some good shaking. It is only 1 floor so others who were on a second floor felt stronger shaking. Predictably, some people were outside and didn’t think it was much at the time. It made the national news here.

It seems that there is no more damages in your side and this is good enough. I heard there was a bigger earthquake in Philippines and I hope it wouldn't be a serious damage, too.

Me too. It was the biggest in the area since 2014. It was centered in a county park.

I saw that news on the Associate Press app. I went to the KRON4 website, and it didn’t seem to be that big a deal. I guess they don’t interrupt the news for anything under a 6.2.

Glad you’re okay. And I’m glad I live where we don’t normally deal with earthquakes.
