I think it can be explained by natural forces. Now, we must see if there was any tectonic activity in the Bay Area that night. When was it?

This was a fun query. If I remember correctly, we were going to a show. I'm thinking it was when I was coming in from Reno on the slow bus and we made a mad dash out of the Greyhound station to try to get to the venue. That would put the date at October 27, 2013.(1) It was already dark as I recall. The show probably started sometime between 7 and 8pm, so any time from 6-8pm would be game - unless we saw it when you were driving me to the airport.

The USGS reports six earthquakes of note impacting California on that date on that date. The times are given in UTC, and I don't know how that varies with daylight savings time, but I suppose it would require subtracting 7-9 hours, or a time of 1-5am UTC September 28. And I struck out.

Granted, earthquakes happen all the time; especially in California, but the closest I found was a 1.5 quake in El Diablo at 23:44 UTC.(2) That would have been behind us, and as I recall, we were already in the wetlands, and the lights were to the northwest. Again, my memory is mush. You picked me up in Oakland, right?

This is not to say there wasn't any aftershock. Besides that, I'm reminded of the time I was sure we had an earthquake. I was on my sofa in the wee hours and I felt my equilibrium swaying while the world around me seemed still, the sensation of mass movement I've felt in other shock waves. The next morning, I couldn't wait to find out where the earthquake was, but there was nothing. About three months later, I met up with my roommate who informed me there had been a sinkhole the size of the house in the back yard. (I was never home during daylight, so how would I know?) The house was four stories, inhabited by four households, and about as square as it was high. In fact, the hospital across the street paid to patch the hold as they had a building nextdoor. The point is, the earth can move in big ways without the USGS picking up on it.

As to new forces, my answer will probably always be no. I recall reading a long time ago about ants and other creatures going crazy before earthquakes, it being supposed the earth leaked ozone prior to earthquakes. The notion makes sense. There would be major friction sure to ionize matter. However, there is a body of research doing what I would consider putting the cart before the horse and correlating ionospheric disturbances causatively with earthquakes. (3)

I'd LOVE to get to the bottom of this. It's the kind of stuff I used to study at ESJ. Ah, the good old days.

In the end, I'm just a doofus. We should ask this chica:

Hers is my sista!

I shudder when people are inhumane to each other rather when nature takes its tolls.

P.S. Hayward has no faults.

I was doubting your Tao today. Evo and I meandered into the backside of a no-trespassing sign and tried to worm our way out through burrs and such leading us into a huge industrial compound surrounded by barbed wire. We walked the whole thing - ruins, a transformer station, a waste treatment plant, some industries - before getting back to the place we weren't supposed to be trespassing. That was not good - about two hours of trespassing. We got to visit a beautiful field that is now turned to dust, though. Due to drought, the earth is soft dust and the sky is smoky, still.

I was going to give you a dissertation contrasting free agency and the laws of physics, but I forgot where the question was.

That reminds me, "What's the question? Love is the answer."
