The quake, a magnitude 4.3, had its epicenter about a mile east of Berkeley. It was felt across the East Bay in Walnut Creek, Martinez, and Alameda, and across the Bay in San Francisco and Sausalito. Northward, it was detected in Santa Rosa, while southward, it was felt in Santa Cruz, according to the United States Geological Survey’s Did You Feel It? reporting system.
