berkeley, piedmont, alameda down to san leandro and san lorenzo and san francisco right along 80, market street, that's where the greatest amount of shaking took place. it did move through the bay and into san francisco. it's foggy and damp this morning. it will be warmer with scattered showers this afternoon. here's sue. >> we're heading outside to take a live look at walnut creek. the fog is settling in here. it's not hampering your visibility so much. traffic is moving at the limit for an eight-minute drive. green is good. your commute is looking great this morning. we do have slick roads and we still have the problem 680 on the ramp to southbound 101 with a couple of cars there. it's in the clearing phases. they were waiting for a flatbed tow truck. that is on scene. hopefully that will be cleared out of lanes. we'll check in with any b.a.r.t. delays due to the earthquake.

we do have team coverage for you that morning. >> reporter amy hollyfield live at the b.a.r.t. station where officials say do expect delays. >> reporter: hi, natasha. we've been monitoring the situation here. it's the first train that is impacted. so, for example, on this northbound side, richmond train just came through, the very first train just came through and that was about 12 minutes late. here on the southbound side heading into san francisco things have corrected themselves. it looks like the train heading into san francisco got here at 4:58. it was due at 4:57. we were told that the first trains were just going to go very slowly here on the tracks. just to make sure there was no track damage, so that's why they went through here slowly with an abundance of caution. they did check the tracks before they sent the trains out and said everything was fine. we talked to b.a.r.t. passenger who was waiting for the train about whether he felt the quake. here you go.

>> i felt the earthquake but it shouldn't affect my day that much. >> reporter: what happened to you when you felt it? >> just a little shaken. >> reporter: how did you react? >> i'm a californian so it wasn't too big of a deal. >> reporter: that's what we're finding here, a lot of calm. people are very tired, very slemy because it did wake them up, but they're getting on with their day not worried about what happened. i called the claremont hotel which is near the epicenter where this happened. they said no damage reported there so everything looked fine. it looks like b.a.r.t. is getting back on schedule slowly but surely. if you're commuting later in the morning your commute should be fine. reporting live in berkeley, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. it's 5:04 right now. here is a closer look at usga says the quake hit. 4.4 quake striking at 2:39 this morning. >> this is the hayward fault nearly two miles east/southeast of berkeley originally reported as a little bit of a stronger
