A Moderate Sized Quake

An earthquake just shook us up in the Bay Area, and this one is relatively close by, according to the USGS, centered about 9 miles NE of San Jose City Hall and 8 miles NNE of Alum Rock, which puts it out in the middle of nowhere, between San Jose and Tracy. It shook for about two minutes, and USGS is reporting it as 5.6 on the Richter scale along the Calaveras fault.
