Shaking felt in much of the Bay Area and Central Valley on Thursday afternoon appears to have come from a 5.9-magnitude earthquake after the U.S. Geological Survey initially reported a second 4.8-magnitude quake around the same time near Stockton in San Joaquin County.
The USGS initially reported the 5.9-magnitude quake near the California-Nevada border at 3:49 p.m., shortly before reporting the 4.8 quake in San Joaquin County.
However, the USGS’ website within a half-hour of the shaking removed the listing for the 4.8 quake and clarified the shaking came from the larger quake.
No injuries or major damage were immediately reported in connection with the earthquake.

Earthquakes are caused by global warming, right?

Climate Change
….don’t give them ideas! 😀
Ya’ll are too much. Yes global warming is a scientific fact not a hoax or fake news. It is a serious problem.
Well,….I felt one of the two.
It was a light rolling motion and lasted a long time.
It was the weirdest earth quake I ever felt.
I agree, it was the weirdest earthquake I’ve ever felt too. We felt it here in my office in Walnut Creek. I noticed a slight rolling and the blinds started moving back and forth, then I felt a small shake, and then more rolling for a while. It seemed to last a long time.
Upgraded to 6.0 by USGS. Felt it on second floor, some swaying of hanging lamp. Rollong wave for about six seconds.Keller Ridge Drive.
There have been more than 50 aftershocks in that region.
Didn’t feel it, the only thing I feel is heat.
Copy that.

must be global climate change, right?
I felt it but it was very light and rolling so I figured there must be an earthquake somewhere but not nearby.
3 clusters today. Cluster #1 down by Bridgeport, cluster #2 around Markleeville and cluster #3 with the largest quake was in the Smith Valley which is near Gardnerville, NV. It appears nature is not happy with use today

Californians are still laughing and waiting..
I did not feel it.
Felt it in Clayton. Chillin’ pool side. Wind was dead still and then the pool started making waves out of nowhere.
Missed it. Was on my feet, moving around, most of the day so didn’t feel it.
