Quite significant damage for a magnitude 5.3 earthquake!! But then again, a 5.1 quake did pretty much the same damage in Orange County on March 28th 2014, sharp and shallow!!

It was actually 5.7 not 5.3

Actually that earthquake was 5.7 and centered in Daly City right off John Daly Blvd!!!!!! I lived in the inner sunset district on Lincoln Way and Funston. And it knocked the wires off the telephone pole in front of out flat at 1129 Lincoln Way!!!!!!! 👍
