With its epicenter in Berkeley, a 3.3 earthquake shook the Bay Area at around noon today.
On Twitter, people in San Francisco and Oakland reported feeling the quake, sending the #earthquake hashtag trending in both areas.
The small earthquake in #SF just gave me a mini massage as I chilled in my couch #SOMA 🤷🏽♀️

Hearing 3.3 with an epicenter in the Berkeley Hills... At work in SF: it felt like someone came up behind my chair and shook it. #earthquake

Reporting from the Transamerica Pyramid: we felt the earthquake, but it was barely stronger than a sudden gust of wind.
