A Californian earthquake of magnitude-3.6 was the strongest felt in the East Bay and Peninsula regions, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The morning was followed by a 2.7 earthquake reported near Yorba Linda in Orange County.
But the Bay Area quake was felt over a significantly larger and larger area.
According to the USGS Did You Feel It? card, hundreds of people logged into the Bay Area temblor report. Many were in cities like Oakland, San Leandro, Burlingame, Alameda, San Francisco and Castro Valley.
The earthquake, which struck at 11:36 hours seemed to be centered on the Hayward fault about six miles south of Oakland. A magnitude-2.3 earthquake rolled through about five minutes later.
Doug Sovern, KCBS 740 AM for a reporter, said in a tweet: "Quick hard shaking of the house here in Berkeley-Oakland border." He said the quake lasted for only two or three seconds. "Nice adrenaline boost!" he tweeted.
