Feel That?

About 7:14 or so and pretty sharp up front, but very short, from here in the Mission-Castro.

Did you feel that?

It was only 3.7, but it felt a lot bigger. Imagine how bad it would be if it was 7.0 or even worse 8.0, centered in Berkeley.

Looks like it was only a 3.7, but right under Berkeley. It must have been really shallow, because it started shifting things around on my desk rather quickly--if it had lasted much longer things would have started to fall over, I think.

I'm in Berkeley, and it was definitely noticable, but not much more than other ones I've felt. As soon as the news came on and it said 3.7, I knew it had to be centered right here. IIRC, the other recent ones I've felt (within the last couple years) were a little bigger than that but further away.

I was at a movie at the westfield theatre, and the seats vibrated apparently. I didn't notice though.

Nope, not in Sactown. Two years I lived in SF and nary an earthquake. How disappointing.

I was walking down Geary at the time so I definitely could not distinguish between the earthquake and the #38 (which I don't H8 so much now that I never ride it)
