Didn't we have a pretty big one in Vancouver in 1999 or 2000?
I remember it was enough to ground shake, stuff rattle and the lights sway when I was sitting in class. I wonder how big that was.

It is not a biggy for Sanfran, some people might not have felt it at all.

I thought I was dizzy cause it felt like my bed was shaking but didn't think much about it after that. I got to school and some classmates were like, did you feel the earthquake? I think it was 2000 or 2001.

3.4? Are you kidding me? People probably didn't even notice. 3.4 is like sitting on a wobbly chair. You get more shakes driving down a shitty road.

This is equivalent to someone in SanFran making a thread that it's raining in Vancouver.
It's just that common, and not that big of a deal. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Reminds me of that scene from Independence Day - "Is that a earthquake?" "Not even a four-pointer, go back to sleep."

For a list of earth quakes in the last 7 days. They happen ALL THE TIME. The only one of concern is the 6.6 off the coast of Australia (you'll see it, it's red).

Not even that much shaking! A 3.4 is less shaking then a train coming by your house.
Less than 2.0 Micro Microearthquakes, not felt. About 8,000 per day
2.0-2.9 Minor Generally not felt, but recorded. About 1,000 per day
3.0-3.9 Often felt, but rarely causes damage. 49,000 per year (est.)
4.0-4.9 Light Noticeable shaking of indoor items, rattling noises.
Significant damage unlikely. 6,200 per year (est.)
5.0-5.9 Moderate Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions. At most slight damage to well-designed buildings. 800 per year
6.0-6.9 Strong Can be destructive in areas up to about 160 kilometres (100 mi) across in populated areas. 120 per year
7.0-7.9 Major Can cause serious damage over larger areas. 18 per year
8.0-8.9 Great Can cause serious damage in areas several hundred miles across. 1 per year
9.0-9.9 Devastating in areas several thousand miles across.
1 per 20 years
10.0+ Epic Never recorded; see below for equivalent seismic energy yield. Extremely rare (Unknown)
