Know your seismic facts. Living in that 'vulnerable' an area, you should at least know a bit. I don't know why you didn't immeaditely think it to be an earthquake.
San Francisco isn't due for another 'Big One' for another 60 or 70 years. You should know better than I that San Francisco get minour trembles every so often, not big enough to do damage, just enough to be felt or knock stuff from the walls. You probably felt a 3.0 or so. The seismic measurements, according to the richter scale, increase exponentially. Thus, a 7.0 is 10x stronger than a 6. '89 was a 7.8, I believe.
If, by referring to 'the Big One,' you mean the one that will send California uner the sea, it's a bunch of bollocks. The Pacific Plate moves North and the N. American plate stays (relatively) in place. California will NOT tumble into the sea. Earthquakes are means of relieving the pressure built up in the faults, in 1906 the Pacific plate moved about 3 ft. North. I thinki in '89 it was 1 foot or so...
Pets as good natural disaster detectors is just a wive's tale.
So long as you live in a fairly modern house built up to codes following the '89 quake, you should be in good condition.

is this some kind of joke, i live in s.f and i didn't feel a thing. of course, that could be because i was partying at school at a 4hr party.

There is only a very small chance that the quake you felt is a foreshock to a larger quake.

It depends on what part of San Francisco. The last large quake on the Hayward fault was an estimated 6.8 magnitude in 1868. That would be in the Oakland/Berkeley area. The last large quake adjacent to San Francisco was the 1906 quake (7.8 on the updated moment magnitude/8.2 on the Richter scale); the 1989 quake 7.0 quake was quite some distance from S.F.
Yeah, ridiculous that California will "fall into the sea" when 86% of the coastline is rising.If, by referring to 'the Big One,' you mean the one that will send California uner the sea, it's a bunch of bollocks. The Pacific Plate moves North and the N. American plate stays (relatively) in place. California will NOT tumble into the sea. Earthquakes are means of relieving the pressure built up in the faults, in 1906 the Pacific plate moved about 3 ft. North. I thinki in '89 it was 1 foot or so...
The maximum horizontal movement in the 1906 quake was 20 feet near Point Reyes.
