A magnitude 3.5 earthquake slightly shook the East Bay Sunday night, causing little or no damage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The agency reported that the first quake struck at 8:08 p.m. and was centered in southeast Oakland in the area of the Hayward Fault. The quake was followed by a 2.3 magnitude quake at 8:11 p.m. that was centered in southwest San Francisco.
Copying and pasting the coordinates from the agency into Google maps gives the epicenter location.

A substantial jolt hit my apartment and sounded a big bang exactly 8:08 in central san mateo.
We did not feel the 2nd, smalleer quake.
Strong enough to google but it really wasn’t that alarming. BTW I live near the epicenter in downtown San Leandro.
