'My Earthquake-dar Doesn't Go Off Until Past 5.0': Pacificans React to Bay Area Quake

A 3.6-magnitude earthquake in the East Bay was felt from Danville to San Francisco and beyond tonight.

The quake was recorded in an area three miles from San Leandro at 11:36 p.m. and had a depth of 9.1 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The tremblor was felt by people across the Peninsula, including residents of Pacifica.

So far, four of Pacifica Patch's Facebook fans have reported feeling the tremblor.

"I'm near the end of Oddstad in the townhouses," Cheryl Ferrari wrote. "I think we feel most of them back here. Tonight's was sort of a lingering rolling type of shake (at least back here)."

One follower of Pacifica Patch on Twitter follower poked fun at the relatively small magnitiude of this quake:

"My earthquake-dar doesn't go off until past 5.0 MT (magnitude)," Jeremy Balan wrote.

And, inevitably, one Facebook fan brought up the fact that overall, today was a very shaky day, what with the large quake on the East Coast.

"So the west coast wanted to see some action too (shaking)," wrote Paul Maciel.
