A magnitude 3.3 earthquake, with its epicenter near Richmond, was felt in Berkeley this morning at 9:35 a.m. As a matter of routine, BART trains were halted to check for structural damage.

Cori Kesler, a resident of northwest Berkeley, said she felt two rumbles. “You know how bigger earthquakes feel like a truck hit your house?” she asked. “This one felt like a Mini hit the house.”

If you felt the quake, you can add your data to the USGS Did You Feel It site.
