San Andreas Fault

Yesterday I made an excursion to Point Reyes, taking advantage of the heatwave (earthquake weather) and absence of fog on the coast. Point Reyes lies on the San Andreas fault, Pacific ocean at left, Drakes Bay at right.

 

When dowloading the photos from the camera at 9PM last night, I felt an earthquake and 2 aftershocks. No damage or injuries reported, it was only a 4.0 strength.

 

Song lyrics by Natalie Merchant:

 

San Andreas Fault

moved it's fingers

through the ground

earth divided

plates collided

such an awful sound

 

San Andreas Fault

moved its fingers

through the ground

terra cotta shattered

and walls came

tumbling down

 

o promised land

o wicked ground

build a dream

tear it down
