[ Here ] California Earthquake -- Alum Rock

A jolty but short lived 5.6 earthquake, which happened at around 8:04:54 pm PST, took a minute or so to travel from the epicenter to where I live. SJ Mercury has a running roll of how others felt. (The earthquake was recorded on USGS website  within a minute or so, even before the magnitude could be calculated.)
