4.0 magnitude quake shakes Californians awake

By Miranda Leitsinger, msnbc.com

A 4.0-magnitude earthquake rattled northern California Monday morning, triggering an early start to the work week for some in San Francisco and the Bay Area.

The quake, centered one mile north of El Cerrito in the East Bay and 10 miles north-northwest of Oakland, struck at a depth of 5.7 miles at 5:33 a.m. PT, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

No damage was reported, the California Highway Patrol's Central Division said on twitter.

The shaking sent others to twitter to comment on the small rumble:

"(W)orked better than coffee 5:45am," quipped Maritza Ruiz-Kim.

"My shaky wake up call seemed to last for 30 sec+," wrote Amanda Walter.

"Was in airport shuttle during the quake. But now everyone else in SF is awake obscenely early, too!" exclaimed Zoelle Egner.?
