NoCal DUers -- who else felt the earthquake???
I got a pretty good jolt up here in the Berkeley hills.

3.7 magnitude
9 km (5.6 miles)
Pretty short (20-30 seconds max) but a strong jolt at first, then some rumbling. It was definitely on the Hayward fault, which runs directly under my neighborhood...

3. Yeah, I felt it...
We were in downtown Oakland at the time in a 100+ year old building taking a dance class. I was scared shitless because I knew from the length of the quake and the strength of the jolt that the epicenter was fairly close and I thought that maybe it was a foreshock to a larger quake and that a "big one" would hit and I would be stuck in that building and the thing would come crumbling to the ground. But everything turned out fine. :)
