KRON4’s Robin Winston describes what she felt.
“It was a quick rattle and it didn’t feel that strong but all of a sudden it started to intensify and I yelled out ‘QUAKE,’ like this is the big one. It felt really strong like decorations on my walls, they were moving back and forth. My candles on my kitchen table almost fell over and I was staring at my wine rack the whole time, thinking please don’t fall over, but nothing came off the wall. That was scary,” Winston said.
One viewer in Berkeley said saw his computer shaking and felt the entire building moving.
There have been no reports of injuries or damages at this time.
