San Francisco, Mission District, in Apt / MMI IV (Light shaking): Laying in bed and felt side to side movement. I have felt smaller tremors in the past, but nothing like this. Monitor on arm stand, plants and bed were visible shaking.
Mcminnville Oregon / MMI II (Very weak shaking): Several of us in our work building felt it in McMinnville. It was very quick, maybe 1/2 second. We all looked at each other confused. Very odd that we could feel it so far away. We think it's because of the way ouro 3 story building is built. Employees on every floor felt it and 1 employee in our parking lot. Never felt our building shake like that before.
