Fault Lines And Crash Cars
Sporty out there Friday night with cars ripping into houses and through power poles, knocking out power to some already feeling the after-effects of a 2.8 Magnitude shaker born in Alamo.
Crashes in Walnut Creek, Alamo, Martinez and Orinda kept first responders busy as the neighborhoods checked in with our Social Media accounts for a digital after-quake assessment and gab fest.
An early morning crash on Moraga Way in Orinda left the driver with a hefty car repair bill and a couple of hundred neighbors without power. PG&E on the scene switching out power poles and working to get the lights back on. Driver unscathed.
Last night’s shaker didn’t pack enough of a punch to make its way onto our “front page” but everyone seemed happy fulfilling the perfectly human need to connect and talk about stuff after it happens. Some of the comments are pretty funny.
“BogTrotter” (Cute…) responded to our quake advisory on Twitter with: “…that was the Campo cougars winning the quarterfinals ? ”
So it looks like congratulations are due to the latest litter of Coooogs.

It was nice to be able to confirm what I felt. My family thought I was crazy!
I just want to know if anyone has successfully navigated Moraga Way WITHOUT hitting a power pole….
Surprised to find everyone on your FB!
It’s where the cool kids hang out…
Listened to the Campo game from Lafayette. That’s some sound system they have over there!
Sis-boom-bah!
We don’t need no music
We don’t need no band
All we need is Campo fans,
jammin’ in the stands!
Gooooo Cougars!
Quake: check. Car crash: check. We seem to see so many crashes we almost have say which one, mine being the three car on Olympic. That German Shepard will never trust his driver again. He did not look happy.
Those Shepherds are usually such good drivers…
Another one at Stone Valley and Roundhill?
Yes. Two cars. Minor injury, but PG&E called for the assist…
Love the comments. Spent way too much time reading them all last night!
You can’t spent too much time with us, Dara Ann…
Almost routine now.
Guess we won’t be getting those autonomous cars now right?
