Yikes, I'll bet you did, that's practically on top of it. The last significant quake here in the SF bay area was a 5.4 in October of 2007 about 6 miles NNE of my house. I was on the second story of our house and got rocked pretty good. We even had slight damage to the house. I'm glad to hear its cooling off down under. I hope you guys get lots of rain (but not too much) this year. Doug
