Well, if you were at msri on 17 October 1989, "The epicenter of the quake was in the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park in Santa Cruz County, an unpopulated area in the Santa Cruz Mountains ...

It is true, though, very few have epicenter in Berkeley itself, the closest I recall before this was a near-surface one in El Cerrito, years ago.]]> http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1200/earthquakes-centered-in-berkeley/?Focus=16878#Comment_16878 2011-11-05T16:38:59-07:00 2018-11-04T13:35:27-08:00 Andreas Blass http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/account/475/

Maybe *exactly this* didn't happen before MO, but the only time I ever experienced a nontrivial earthquake was at a conference at MSRI in 1989.

On October 20 we had a 4.0 earthquake centered in Berkeley, then a 3.9 the same day. Today we had a 3.2 about an hour ago. This did not happen before MO. ...
