You were right on top of it. Nice call.

We got some good jolts and shaking in Oakland. Side to side stuff ... no rough up and down.

If it was that small then it was right under me because it was a decent shake here, close to 10 or so seconds too...

Earthquakes are a sure sign of global warming, especially minor ones. Of course a lack of earthquakes is also a sign of global warming. /s
