Earthquake! Tonight a 5.6 magnitude eartquake hit the bay area 9 miles outside of San Jose. My wife and I were discussing finances on the couch when all of the sudden, the couch started to shake. I never heard the “loud thunder” that everyone talks about but I definitely felt the shaking. It lasted about 15 seconds and only one thing fell. My daughter slept through it and when we went to check on her, she waved us away like we were disturbing her beauty sleep. My neighborhood stayed pretty quite and not one car alarm went off. I hope our build machines in Cupertino are ok. We have a release to QA tomorrow! At the end of the day, the worse part of it was the the news update interrupted the beginning of “The Biggest Loser”.
