So, give us a framework:  does a 3.6 knock glasses off the table, shake the house, what?  bill w

Hi BillW, a 3.6 doesn’t wreck anything, nothing even falls off the shelf, picture frames don’t fall face down.  You can feel it for sure if it is as close as this one, you can hear it, because the house cracks and creaks, windows might rattle a little, a hanging light fixture will swing thru a few degrees of arc perhaps.  Visitors from New York will freak, dogs will be startled, squirrels won’t notice.

It requires two numbers: a distance from epicenter and a magnitude at epicenter.  This one was close and mild.

WOWsers we just had an earthquake.

Bay Area ExIers, everybody OK?  Felt like about a 5.0 to me, short duration, time 10:35 local.

OK the USGS is telling me that was a lot closer and smaller than I originally estimated.  I am accustomed to those being bigger and more distant, but this one had epicenter about 6 km from here, about a 3.6 magnitude.
