Hills. We should see some of those winds begin to diminish by this afternoon. Running Early Morning errands. Well have a lovely afternoon. For those who travel from i would say the tracy area, only one way out. Not a lot of options and i did check the drive times. Near where the crash is to 680 right now at about 45 minutes. Ill have another update on that coming up shortly. Thanks, vianey. An earthquake shaking the south bay perhaps while you were watching. It was Strong Enough to get people dialing in to our newsroom and messaging us to say they felt it. Chris, i know you live in the south bay so did you feel it out there . Reporter i did not. I slept very soundly through the whole thing. We always check in with our local Grocery Stores because this is the most obvious place where you see really immediate damage with all of the things on the shelves. We talked with the night manager here at the Safeway Store in morgan hill and he told us he did feel a jolt last night, nothing came off the shelves not even a sign swung as they were hanging from the ceiling. What that earthquake looked like on our seismograph. A little blip that registered 3. 9 at 11 16 last night. Might have still been awake. Folks did call the newsroom. They felt it here in morgan hill and in gilroy. Our colleague, robert handa, tweeted he felt it after heading to a Party Last Night and was reminded to keep a pair of shoes by his bed in case that was a preshock and not the real thing. And that is one of the tips to be earthquake ready, keep shoes and a flashlight within reach particularly near your bedside, your car gassed up at least threequarters of a tank and gas on hand. If the power goes out in a big quake there will be no way to buy gas or get money out of your atm. Keep a 72hour kit with food, water and meds. Weve been harping on that for years. Drop, cover and hold on if youre out and about to protect yourself. If youre in bed as a lot of folks were last night, protect your head with a pillow and dont jump out and run because there could be glass on the floor. We still want to know what you felt last night, even if you didnt feel anything wed love to hear what your experience was. You can join us in the conversation on twitter and facebook. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. Never can remind folks enough about being prepared. Thanks, kris. As soon as that earthquake hit we sent out a push alert.
