Just had a small earthquake. Nothing solid from the USGS yet, but it looks like the preliminary data shows it somewhere on the Calvaras Fault east of San Jose, and somewhere between 3.0-3.9 on the Richter scale.

Nothing major, just a couple of bumps and a slight swaying motion.

Edit: Early magnitude is 4.1, with a depth of 7.1km deep The quake was widely felt. Those are still early numbers, and subject to change.

Here's the estimated epicenter

4.1, about 13 miles south/southwest of downtown San Jose.

I thought I felt something about that time. Nothing big enough to take notice of, though.

Moose says he felt it. If I felt it, I thought it was some other bump in the house. We have the washing machine going.
*sigh* I like Little Earthquakes.
