A magnitude 3.6 earthquake — followed by a magnitude 2.3 quake — slightly shook the East Bay late Tuesday night, causing little or no damage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The agency reported that the quakes struck at 11:36 p.m. and then at 11:41 p.m. and were centered in southeast Oakland in the area of the Hayward Fault.
Copying and pasting the coordinates from the agency into Google maps gives the epicenter location.

Wow, am I the first to comment? I think everyone in Berkeley slept thru it!
My building shook, first time I felt an earthquake!
Welcome to earthquake country! You’ll get used to these little ones. They tend to come in clusters.
If you have an AM radio, you can often hear comments about small earthquakes on local “newstalk” stations. They interrupt their stories to take calls from listeners and announce data from the geologists. Try CBS 740 or KGO 810.
