Thats not real big.

Thats just what I'm saying.
The earth wasn't horribly shaking. There are more than 1000 earthquakes of this magnitude every year. More than 3 a day.
The only thing a 5.6 would knock down is a shack.

The U.S. Geological Survey reports that a 5.6 earthquake based in the Alum Rock area of San Jose hit at approximately 8:04 p.m.
Bay residents as far away as Danville and Sonoma reported feeling the tremor.
There were no immediate reports of major damage or injury.
There were reports of things falling of store shelves in San Jose.
The quake was reported to be 5.5 miles deep, which is shallow in earthquake terms, NBC11 reported.
Many people measured the quake last around 20 seconds.
Check Out USGS Earthquake Map
The California Highway Patrol has received no reports of damage or injuries, spokesman Tom Marshall said.
The quake was centered in the foothills east of San Jose, not far from the home of the city's mayor, Chuck Reed. He said the city hadn't received any reports of damage.

that map should automatically update if it allows hot linking from the gov site.....

Earthquakes are pretty cool in a scary sorta way. I remember when i was about 16 years old stoned outta my mind with a good buddy. We were skipping a class when a rare earthquake struck up here....Showed up to a friends house to see if hes home.
"is he here?"
"I dunno but i feel like im moooving"
It was pretty cool to see trees and stuff just swaying.
For some reason im glad i was bakeder to experience it.

Weird. I was watching a show about the inner earth around that time. They mentioned San Francisco earthquakes with footage of past quakes that featured the fear on peoples faces among other things. Strange to read this as the first post for the night. It's also the first I've heard about it. Doesn't seem too bad though. I hope all is well.

Last year and friend and I were taking bong rips in my 7th floor apt in SF when a 4.3 hit. Felt like a semi was slamming into my wall.
the sway is a wonderful feeling.

I've felt 2 earthquakes while tripping. Both times it took a few seconds to realise it was not the drugs! 
Even when you are sober its a pretty unsettling feeling to have good old stable mother-earth move around beneath you.
5.6 ain't much. Knock over some stuff on the shelves, rattle the windows a bit. Might feel pretty stong near the epicenter, but not too much damage. Get into the high 6's or 7's on the richter and that when things get ugly. Still, I'll take my chances on quakes in SoCal. Everyplace has its natural disasters and quakes are one of the least scary to me for some reason.
