6.5 quake in Humboldt County

We just experienced a gnarly quake here in Humboldt County, CA. It made the house shake and knocked a few things over.
I think this is it. I look forward to the full scoop on Humboldt's premier earthquake blogger (among other topics), HighBoldtage. We're listening on our scanners, you can listen along on Radio Reference (thanks for the link Bill). A conversation thread has started on Humboldt's most popular blog, the Humboldt Herald. It looks like Ferndale got hit the hardest, just like in 1992. Poor Ferndale. Polly is watching the reports roll in on the USGS website: this quake was felt in Petaluma, Stockton, San Francisco...
I truly hope everybody is okay. This is the kind of quake that does damage and can kill. All circuits are busy.
