No, we’re not talking Quakers. Today the good ol’ earth was feeling excited. Maybe it was getting ready for a little sexy to be coming back. You’ll see.
At 3:46 p.m. the earthquake struck the Berkeley area, surprising a few Daily Cal staff members in the office. The quake was centered two miles ESE of the city and reached a magnitude of 3.4.
BART stopped the trains for a few minutes to make sure everything was A-OK, but there was no damage found on the tracks and none reported around Berkeley itself.
Stephanie Hanna, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Geological Survey, weighed in to the Chron, saying that it occured on an “active fault zone” but then added, “I don’t think a 3.4 would knock an empty shampoo bottle under the sink.”
As for us, well, we didn’t even feel it. We were on a cigarette break. The world can wait while we take a drag.
