1. SF?... nt

[yawnmaster]

2. I thought thats what that was. I'm down the peninsula. eom

[Hell Hath No Fury]

3. Yes, that was a nice one.

The biggest I've felt in years. Hang in there! :hi:

[yawnmaster]

4. 4.2 about a mile east of Berkeley. eom

[yawnmaster]

8. recalculated to 3.9. it may change slightly again. eom

[joeybee12]

5. Uh-oh! Hold on for aftershocks!!

[jberryhill]

6. 4.2 initial, 3.9 aftershock

[RandySF]

9. It still felt bigger than the 5.8 in 2007.

[jberryhill]

12. 9 km depth

A 4.2 closer to the surface is going to be more of a jolt than a bigger one deeper down.

[robdogbucky]

7. Yup

4.2 Hayward Fault,under Berkeley

That was a strong little jolt

[proud patriot]

10. US GS link

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqscanv/ look like a 4.0 between oakland and Berkeley

11. We felt both waves over here in Oakland.

the dog wasn't too happy. nothing broke. I'm staying away from the windows for a while. it looks like the epicenter is around the Hayward fault.

13. End of the Wolrd

OMG! Freak OUT!

;)

[liberal N proud]

It is 10/21 in parts of the world

Could be the start of the end.

[liberal N proud]

14. Hope it is not a signal of larger quakes

Maybe it relieved pressure.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

22. That is always a worry for me.

Especially if it was on Hayward. :(

15. Working in Pleasant Hill, we felt it and it lasted forever

We got both the up-and-down AND the side-to-side

[proud patriot]

17. Are you in a taller building ?

I didn't feel it in Concord

[arcane1]

21. Nope, on the 5th of 6 floors

It makes up for missing them for the past two or three years

:hi:

[RandySF]

Same where I sat.

The building literally bounced up and down, then there was a sudden jolt.

[proud patriot]

16. Didn't feel it in Concord at all

however earlier today a bunch of us at work felt woozy

[wryter2000]

18. That sure as hell shook Oaktown

Wowza. Can't find it on the USGS yet.

[lunatica]

19. I'm working in UC Berkeley. We really felt it here

I chose to get away from my very large office window. Strangely enough just this morning there was a campus wide earthquake drill.

It was on the Hayward Fault which runs along the East Side of the Berkeley campus. About 200 yards from my office building.

THe new football stadium they're building sits right on the fault

20. Rattled my windows

and scared my cat.

My house is on bedrock so we get rattles rather than rolls.

[wryter2000]

23. Aftershock

We just had another good jolt. :wow:

[jberryhill]

24. Same size, same place - 4.2

[spiderpig]

25. I'm about 10 miles north of Berkeley

and the first one woke me up from a nap. Just felt the last one a few minutes ago.

We use to have tremors all the time 20-30 years ago, and they've become less frequent over the past couple of decades. Guess it's our turn in the Ring of Fire.
