It appears that the quake's epicenter was in Alum Rock, CA (about 15 miles from San Jose) and the official time was 8:04PM PDT and the magnitude was 5.6.
The first tremor lasted about 4 to 6 seconds. Enough to get everyone out of their seats and realizing we were in the middle of a quake... Most people starting moving to the exit door. I stayed at my seat since I was not about to let go of my Mac :-)
Then it happened again and then again. Though the subsequent ones were shorter and shorter.
Not sure what damages, if any, this little one caused---cannot see anything from here, all seems well. Regardless, one things for sure, you come out of this feeling like you are floating and living in a surreal state (still feel it more than 5 minutes since). Not sure if this is scary or cool...
