Another earthquake

We felt our first earthquake back in early March and were quite excited as it was the first quake in the 18 months we'd been in the Bay Area.

Well we just felt our second. Details from USGS Earthquake Centre are:

Magnitude - 3.4
Date-Time - Sunday, May 20, 2007 at 4:10:19 PM
Location - 37.363°N, 121.729°W
Depth - 6.3 km (3.9 miles)
Region - SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA
Distances- 9 km (5 miles) E (94°) from Alum Rock, CA
13 km (8 miles) NE (49°) from Seven Trees, CA
15 km (9 miles) E (80°) from San Jose City Hall, CA

This one was a lot closer than last time (about 35k from us), but smaller. So it was louder, and more sudden, but didn't last long.
