Barely felt it about 50 miles north of Berkeley.

Window started shaking then the whole house for a very few seconds.

Felt the quake really hard sideways shaking. Much stronger than any 4.4 I ever felt, more like a 5+ here in SSF across the bay from Berkeley. Scared the crap out of my wife who checked for damage, thankfully nothing fell.

I had been asleep about an hour and woke up about 5 minutes before it hit.

About a 3 ticket ride where I am

“Did it shake any sense into Bizerkely?”.....

Certainly you just, NEVER going to happen.

I feel bad for those who live in the earthquake prone areas UNLESS they have an option to leave those areas for safer grounds.

I stoked the fire in the wood stove, turned another fan on.

Fire in a stove would have probably knocked me back out...

Yeah heating and cooking on a fire is my preferred way to live.
