I can't find it. The USGS link said one off the Golden Gate around 7:15 but this was 8:05.

I know it's early, but is there any damage??

I'll start checking out the websites.

Is everyone ok?

I felt it -- I'm working at my office in Alviso. It seemed to go on for about a minute, and the light fixtures hanging from the ceiling were doing a pretty good imitation of the two-step.

Took me a second to remember to get away from the window and find a nice doorway to stand under.

Tried to call home to see how the housemates and dogs are, but the line's busy.

Not a lot of info yet:

5.6 -- NNE of Alum Rock Park here in San Jose.

**maillotpois** · 10-30-2007, 08:20 PM

For us to feel it up here in Marin, on rock, I knew it would be pretty big. Snap looks pretty close to where you are.

Yowza.

Felt it here in the East Bay, Hayward. I heard before I felt it. It was a long one, not strong but with enough time to identify it as "this is not the neighbors video game", grab the dog, the spare leash by the door and go outside. Neighbors were outside too.

Off to check the Earthquake supplies.

Ugh, my house is pretty much on the epicenter. For now it looks like a 5.6.

Was able to get thru by phone -- we have electricity, but most of our neighbors don't. Phones are hit & miss -- circuits are busy. Lots of stuff falling from the walls, so we'll have a bit of broken glass to deal with. Fortunately my favorite clock is still hanging from the wall...

And, most importantly, our dogs are fine!
