I wasn't in town when the earthquake happened. What effects (if any) did people notice in pleasanton?

No damage, just slight rolling. Wouldn't even have noticed it if you were moving about...

It was my first time feeling one since I am from South Africa...it was quite a shake but for such a short time that I didnt even realise that it was a tremor. My hubby was asleep and when I woke him up he didnt know about it...

I was sitting at a table in Fuddruckers in Dublin, my chair was on an uneven surface, and it started wobbling back and forth. I knew it was an earthquake, but my husband who was standing up right next to me, felt nothing. He was talking to me, and I kept saying--do you feel that? My chair is shaking!--and he just ignored me and kept talking. I told him--I'm going to prove to you it was an earthquake when we get home and go on the computer.
