Y'all up there in SF just feel the 8:08 quake? Was up north near Petaluma. Someone just called me from SF and felt it big time.

it felt pretty strong here. It's been downgraded to a 4.4, but was a 4.7 for a while. Seems like the western part of SF felt it harder than other parts. Check these links out:

It seemed short and sharp -- windows rattled loudly for a couple seconds.

I was on BART in Oakland and everything had to stop for 5 mins. Some folks who got on at Embarcadero said they felt it in downtown SF But I felt nuthin'.

I was on BART.
I was in an elevator. I don't know which is worse. At any rate, I felt nada.

I live right by SJ City Hall, but felt nothing! >:(

Years ago I was in SJ at a Sharks game and felt a significant quake. Kinda exciting. The train ride home took like 4x normal rate as someone had to inspect every foot of the track/rail before the train could progress. That sucked.

Wow, earthquake in Richmond, VA, felt as far away as NYC and Southern CT.

This is interesting, posted by someone on a message board:
"The West Coast is riddled with fault lines, thus earthquakes do not project as far as on the East Coast, which has few fault lines, and is primarily hard rock - that's why an earthquake of moderate strength can be felt up and down the East Coast."
Makes sense to me; anyone here know if that's actually a true statement?
Meanwhile Faux News apparently ran this actual screen-crawl earlier: "No Tsunami Expected After East Coast Earthquake".
Oy.

Can't confirm at the moment if that explanation is exactly the reason, but in general, yes, due to its geology Eastern quakes are more akin to dropping a stone in a calm pond, they radiate out further, feeling much like a waterbed, and while that sometimes happens here, often in the Pacific Rim its more like a jolt, depending of course on the magnitude and your distance from epicenter.

Explanantion on SFGate is indeed pretty much like the above.

My youngest daughter, who now works in Manhattan, felt it on the 15th floor!

Speaking of earthquakes...just felt a mini one here. I thought it was my giant neighbor stomping around for a sec.
-
little quake just now? (9:55am) cow-orkers claim they felt one.

Yes, I felt that slight waterbed feeling here at Market and Powell SF.
It was a 3.6 near San Leandro at 9:57am

From SFGate: Quake has laughtershocks
After the 5.8 temblor shook the East Coast, mockery followed all over the Net. Photo gallery of 15 samples:

Same location as last night's quake (which I did feel). I did not feel the one this morning, at Pine and Battery...

Well, I am certified to teach Earth Science, but not necessarily a true earthquake expert. But, it seems totally logical that vibrations don't travel well through cracks in the crust out here, where back East, the crust is all connected, and vibrations just transfer more efficiently. It's amazing how far away this earthquake was felt.

I fell left out, just not feeling the shaking. Darn it. Seeing news today about hurricane devastation and damage, I'd be so much more fearful of all that other $h!t than some shaking.

Did ya feel it at 4:47pm today?
3.3 quake rattles Oakland
Temblor centered about 2 miles from downtown, High St between I-580 and I-880.

DAMN -- just felt THAT one. Big jolt in Oakland, and apparently AL felt it in downtown SF. per FB.

"Aftershock! and the kick-drum is the fault!"
wow, twice in one day! Felt this one too, to a lesser degree (I'm in SF this time rather than Oaktown).
-
I felt it all the way out by the beach.
-
Once again, I feel left out. I wanna feel some shakin and quakin action.
