I'm surprised we felt it as much as we did here on Parnassus Heights. I felt the first tremors and called out to coworkers, "Is this a quake or is the floor just rumbling?"
"I don't feel anything."
(Rumbling grows, items sway)
"Okay, that I feel...[pause, assessment]...and I'm headed to a doorway...."
I love how Californians pause when a quake starts to internally assess how worried they should actually get. Of course, being me, I have the USGS Northern California quake map linked on my homepage, so I click there first. I hope my tourist friends got to feel it. Very SF thing to do while they're here.
