wasn't loud in SF, but yeah "felt it" is why I was posting, because I got startled because I felt it directly from the wooden floor
It got "downgraded" to 3.6

Why does it get loud anyway? Is it the ground ? Or is it the buildings hitting? I remember a loud one a few years back but it reminded me of military planes more than of buildings.

Felt up here too. No, not like that.
Just a subtle shimmy. Looked up to see if the monster had shifted position. Nope.

I'm a few blocks from the center. It felt like a football player ran straight into the wall beside me. Watched and heard the house tick back the other way in a wave from where I was standing to the front door; four discernable pops in rapid succession. That was wild!
Time to brace and bolt..

My experience was very similar. I live right on the Oakland/Piedmont border and I thought for a moment that my 100-year-old house was coming down. I watched the house roll and sway from the couch. From where I was sitting I could see the living room, dining room, and into my freshly repaired and painted lath and plaster kitchen. It was loud, and it seemed to go on forever. I only had one 11x17 framed photo fall off the picture rail, and no new discernible cracks (yet) in my kitchen. Whenever it starts I always wonder "Is this The One?" We were just in our earthquake box the day before rotating out the cat food and oatmeal.

Thank goodness you're in a 100 year old house. Its all that new quake proof stuff that people need to worry about.
