Today's quake.
And I was just reading about earthquake insurance.

Update: just for reference, another sfgate article, which mentions the aftershocks that confused me so...

It's funny, I felt it very distinctly and went straight to the earthquake page (where it hadn't shown up yet), so 5 minutes later I reloaded and it showed up, and then I went through the "did you feel it?" survey as I usually do, and noticed that during the interim they had downgraded the magnitude -- when I first looked at it, it said 3.6, then it went to 2.something, now it says 1.3. Which makes me wonder if it was just coincidence, and something else made the building shake, because you wouldn't think a 1.3 that's 8 miles away would feel like anything... Hmm.

Oh, wait, duh! The time is different, the 1.3 was an aftershock. I just need to find a way to view the original event...

here you go

Thanks. I love that web site, but do not find it very high in findability :)
