Jolted awake by earthquake

I wasn’t able to go back to sleep after a short jolting earthquake just before 3am. Apparently it was centered near the UC Berkeley campus less than 2 miles away.

No damage to our house. The auto gas shutoff was not activated. No car alarms going. The dog went back to sleep fairly soon. 

Just a minor adjustment in the Hayward fault so whew for us at least!

    1. Not uncommon in California but rarer in the SF area than in S. Cal. Not a fun way to wake up though.

  2. Glad it was just a mild one and nothing went off.

    God bless.

  3. So many people don't even notice a 4.3

    1. It was centered just a couple of miles away so quite a jolt awake. True about not noticing it when you are further from the epicenter and get the waves.
