A couple of small quakes hit the east bay area about 1 pm today. While small quakes are not unusual it is a little unnerving when they come right after a 7.2 to the south. The two small quakes were about 15 minutes apart, the largest was about a 4.2. It could be felt pretty much throughout the bay area.
This should remind folks to have a plan. Know where to meet up if you can’t get home. Have extra water handy. Remember to shut off the gas if a large quake hits, etc.,… the Red Cross can give you a check list of the stuff you should include in your earthquake plan. Be ready.
