did anyone else feel it. It must have been on or near the Hayward fault. I grew up in house that was built on top of that fault. Our dog is still agitated.

1. My building just shook, creaked and rolled. . . .

Scared the piss out of me!

On edit-- My dogs were sleeping on the sofa next to me. They leaped up & I spilled my coffee. They still seem nervous. Now for the aftershocks to come. . . .

2. Uh-oh - Is that on the Hayward fault?

3. My thoughts exactly

I lived and worked out there for 8 years. I know the Hayward fault is expected to slip big next. Be careful and prepared!

10. Actually, I thought the Rodgers Creek was the next...lived in Santa Rosa for years.

9. I felt it in the Oakland hills

Piedmont is actually embedded within Oakland so it was close. It's unusual to feel it here in the hills but it's the Hayward fault and I'm right on it, so to speak.

My cat freaked out and ran to hide. But it was mostly just a powerful short jolt. It was over very quickly and I doubt any damage happened. BART automatically shut down, but started up pretty quickly. No damage.

My cat has been nervously looking everywhere for the culprit. It's his first earthquake.

11. My daughter did - in San Francisco

but the rest of her family slept through it.

The aftershocks must be unnerving.

12. Woke me up

Not real strong fortunately

13. Yes, my daughter in Oakland called to let me know she was OK.

She was scheduled to fly out of SFO on a late morning flight and apparently that went without delays.
