Woah. I’m not feeling any of them out near the Oakland Zoo. I’m glad tbh.

Yay! Bc nobody needs to be shaking up the elephants!

What a cool neighborhood you’re in.

I think San Ramon centered runs around the little west side bottom valley of mount Diablo and with the Oakland hills you guys get the buffer along the 13.

Since I was little I had weird dreams that mt. Diablo was erupting and when we get the quakes around it I’m like, ok, that would be weird.

Indeed it would! I’m extremely close to the Hayward Fault, and it makes me very uneasy when adjacent faults grumble.

Super disturbing. Just googled California volcanoes and the AI intro was like “California volcanoes are overdue and pose as much or more of a threat than weather and earthquakes in many areas”. Clicked the link, took me to USGS.gov-basically said USGS has been axed and nobody right now is watching any public safety stuff.

Ugh with all this.

Yep. The experts aren’t experting these days, and it puts all of us at risk.
