in the past, binx, my dog, woke me up. they are a lot more sensitive to the feelings around them. we're going to see as far as if there is any potential damage in the area. 4.1 earthquake. in san jose near the alum rock area. i'm doing my best to look up information on my computer to see what's going on. i will try to pop up one of the fault line maps to see if i can give a better idea. not the exact location but in the south bay, san jose. if you are near the -- let's see if i can pop up the fault lines and given you a idea where we're seeing. i think we're working on a possible map to give you an idea where the exact location of this

just happened. we have some earthquake fault lines. some of the most common ones i know, i do have a map of right now. i don't know if we can take that. we have the hayward fault line and that runs through observing, fremont and the san jose area. know i don't know if that's where the quake happened but this is near the hayward fault line area. the last major earthquake on that hayward fault was on october 21st of 1868. this was known as the great sf earthquake until 190 6. again, the one we're getting reports of right now 4.1. that tends to change going up or down. as they get a better idea where it is another history of the

average we've seen along the hayward fault. it happened in 1868. just a couple of reminders, it's always important especially when we get an earthquake in california to make a plan. it gives you a reminder of making sure your furniture is sturdy, a table, head to a desk, try to think of a game plan as well after the quake. this 4.1 one, it may be a larger event which is why it's important and you have a better idea. we could pop up the map there. i do have 3.6. we got an update, again, as i

was mentioning earlier, the numbers tend to change. usgs classifying it as a 3.6. the calaveras fault, the last large earthquake near the alum rock area where the latest earthquake might have happened was october 30th and that was a magnitude 5.6. now downgraded to a 3.6 earthquake in san jose. a 6.2 on april 24th. there were zero deaths but we had several injured people and there was minor building damage to at least 550 buildings. that was being reported as a 4.1. now usgs saying a 3.6 earthquake near the alum rock area. i want to give you immediate

dangers surrounding earthquakes. perhaps you're visiting us from out of state. i can give folks an idea. if you're not used to earthquakes it can be frightening regardless of how small they are. things that you may want to look out for are things like gas lines. gas line, gas leaks, the potential for fire danger because of the dry brush out there. fires may start with little warning and we get the sinking of buildings. these are for much larger earthquakes. not just here in california but we've seen them in japan and around the world. now 3.6 reported as a 4.1.

please send it to us. did you feel anything? >> i did not. you mentioned it is downgraded so the threat certainly not a factor here. kris sanchez is live in san jose. did you feel it? you're in downtown. >> reporter: i did feel it. sitting in my car separate from the live truck and it felt like when somebody drives too close to your car and it ruffles around a little bit. really didn't feel as much except i looked up and thought did somebody bump the car or something. i was awake and feeling it. you never feel the little ones as much. make sure you have your go bag.

i thought, okay, do we have the water or did we use the water during covid? we've had a lot of supplies backed up. we'll be checking the earthquake kit as we were sheltering at home. >> thank you very much. some good points that you make there. i'm getting a lot of people, i immediately put it up on twitter. it's been downgraded in san jose. it's interesting to see the people in south san jose, the evergreen neighborhood. someone else says they didn't feel it at all but their cats went running. >> people were saying they weren't sure if it was a car or an earthquake like kris said. a lot of people describing it as a quick jolt or that it shook

their house pretty strong. people said they're on the bedrock that they don't usually feel like this. karen, where do you live and what did you feel? >> i live in south san jose and i felt a couple quick seconds of jerkiness. it was shaking my windows and i realized -- are we going to have another one and i was ready to get up and go but it seemed to end. >> yeah, it's a rude awakening when they come in the middle of the night for people when they're sleeping or waking up, right? >> very much. >> and are you from the bay area at all? you've lived through some

earthquakes? >> i've been through a couple over the years. >> thanks for calling in. >> i was here in the bay area for the big one that hit. you see the seismograph in the newsroom that we have but the usgs has downgraded it. reporting what they're feeling or the way that they woke up this morning. >> we will continue to follow that. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area. we will

>> i was talking about in the evergreen area, the silver creek area. they felt it which makes sense. it runs along that corridor of the alum rock foothills this morning. this is interesting. a gentleman says he felt it pretty good as well. santa clara. thanks for everyone who is reaching out this morning. rose said she felt a little bump this morning. south san jose. someone expressing concerns. that kind of makes sense of where people felt it. able to immediately converse via twitter.

we are in earthquake country. we have to be concerned and prepared here in the bay area. you are looking at the fault line we could believe this is on, vianey. >> i have seen this populating on the map and also which fault line this happened on. if you notice here in the maps this is along 680 you see this red dot right here where the earthquake happened. this is the calaveras fault. if you live near this area it's like will you you felt it. somebody who said they were in the santa cruz area. a good stretch going on and to give you a better idea of the history of the calaveras fault, not only just the location but

also a quick history on where this lies on what we've seen when it comes to the history of the cahaveras fault. out through livermore, there's a good chance that you might have felt that jolt based on location. the calaveras fault in 2007. we'll keep an eye on that. back to you. >> thank you very much. we're keeping tabs on everything that's really interesting here. my fiance is in willow glen and said it woke you up, felt it in the area there. kris sanchez is in downtown san jose this morning.

>> repter: our construction is such that buildings are made to move a little bit so that they don't feel that sharp jolt so probably people up in the buildings might have felt it this morning. did you see the earthquake a moment ago? we like to accost people as they're walking by. she did not feel it as she was driving. but i was in my car. i was sitting still when you are awake and sitting still. i was working on my scripts ttle bit.

we have a map. we like to know where the epicenter is. interesting to see if they'll be at work. i don't know what binx is doing this morning. every little one we cover because we want to make sure we remember to be ready after a year of living in the pandemic maybe your earthquake kit is not up to snuff that's okay. take a moment to make sure you have your water and medications you need and documents. a lot of our fault lines are overdue for bigger earthquakes so never a bad time to try to be

prepared. a great tutorial on what should go in your go bag in case you don't know at this point. by the way, i'm not too far from your house so i will go and wake him up. >> he's awake but i don't think the kids are awake. don't wake up the kids just yet. kris in the downtown san jose area. the alum rock area where it was centered. in the area of san jose as well. evergreen, it kind of makes

sense. >> it was a slight jolt and they're awake now trying to figure out what's going on. that 3.6 number to where people felt it and how strong the jolt might have been. and this is where where the quake happened where you see the star. that's right where it happened. you notice the blue pinging lights around here people are seeing the shaky effect. the purple means a weak jolt. and this goes up into moderate, strong and severe.

i was sort of trying to figure out how this happened near the hayward fault. a little bit upnorth. the san andreas fault is closer to the santa cruz area. there's a good chance you could see it down through the morgan hill area as well. depending on where you were, again, giving you an idea of the shaking intensity. a 4.1. down to 3.6. so this part is about right in terms of how the people might have felt it or woken up to it. the calaveras fault runs along not just the south bay but really pushing upwards near the

101. i want to give you a closer look at some of our other faults. the calaveras fault is through morgan hills. if you notice near the morgan hills area down all the way through hollister and the central portion of california all the way down through king city. up through the santa cruz area, to give you perspective for those of us who felt it in santa cruz, the san andreas fault is closer. definitely just a little bit north. just for perspective as far as how far away or how close that quake might have been felt there. over to you. >> thank you very much. most of the responses we're getting from people online is from the east san jose evergreen foothills area. we're talking about an earthquake reported as a 4.1 initially. just a little bit, what, about

5:20 or so this morning, we didn't feel it here in the studio. if felt it, jump online. let us know. >> reach out. we'd love to know what you experienced.

san francisco family asking for help to find their 84-year-old grandmother, jean chang kan fung, last seen on friday afternoon when she left her richmond district home for a walk. city leaders are asking everyone to keep an eye on her. she may be wearing a pink puffy jacket. she was last seen at the marina safeway where a chp officer dropped her off. >> chp saw her near the mcarthur tunnel. they approached her, chp at the time, just as a courtesy, gave her a ride to the marina safeway. >> grandma fung speaks cantonese. they believe the language barrier prevented her safe return home. >> neighbors on the peninsula are on alert. a mountain lying prowling around a milbury neighborhood. a man named frank managed to

starts to vanish in places like california. we have the lowest rate we've ever seen. and grows in states where they've opened up too early perhaps. >> i don't want to see the country that is already too divided become divided in a new way, places free of covid and where death and severe illnesses return. >> here in california 23 people died. another challenge for washington is getting people back to work. the jobs are out there but some are staying away. among the solutions dropping the payments early, even paying companies and employees if they take a new job a sign-on bonus. the picture continues to improve. we got word just 385,000

americans laid off last week. we get the big jobs report tomorrow. we're tweeting about that on obviously twitter where you can find me on @scottmcgrew. switching gears to sports. most of this year's best nhl teams are still playing in the postseason. for sharks fans they're now thinking about next year. last night the league held its annual draft lottery and the team learned they'll pick seventh overall. luck may not have been on their side seven is appropriate because they finished with the seventh worst record. if you're wondering who got the top pick it was the buffalo sabres. activist and shooting survivor is gracing this month's cover of "british vogue" and is opening up about her experience attending action ford university. she says she was excited to do

things like going to mcdonald's and playing poker. she got time to herself after her fame impacted her precollege education. so got us thinking about the good and the old days. we dug through photos to find some old college photos of us, at least the safe ones. cierra? >> safe being the key word. i am originally from ohio, attended ohio university there in southeast ohio, athens, right near west virginia. had a great time, great journalism program, made some great friends, friends for a lifetime. that was the first day of school, move-in day. they had a football game that day and it was a freshman football game so me and my friend grew up together and were both terrified there. >> it's a little hard. >> it's a nervous smile. you're on your own. you're an adult.

>> great times. vianey? >> i went in southern california, but i lived close enough to the university where i got to stay home. man, i want to live in the dorms. but i saved a ton of money. this is when i had extremely long hair and is on the news set of our program on campus. also as cierra said a fantastic journalism program and a lot of my classmates i graduated with moved on to fantastic careers both on air and behind the scenes, amazing producers throughout. i liked college. i thought it was a good time. mike, how was your experience? >> i enjoyed college, too. not as much as some who might not remember it. i remember everything in college. i remember this baseball cap. i wore it pretty much my entire freshman year from when i had gone over to japan and toured the yamaha plant. i had almost a mullet-type style going on.

never got full mullet. laura -- >> you went to ucla. you're a bruin. >> i should have said that because vianey showed off her back ground. it was not far from there. many years separate us, vianey. laura, you're very young as well and had wonderful college pictures, i'm sure. >> i went to st. mary's college here in the bay area. and this was an article they did. my first on-air job at the radio station and then i taught a summer course to young kids in the area there at st. mary's. this was actually in our radio station. that was just the newspaper. my kids say you lived in the black and white days, mom. no, it's just that it was a newspaper. >> real life was also in black and white. >> look where the early days led us. >> trip down memory lane. >> college was a lot of fun.

5:49. we continue to follow breaking news this morning. a 3.6 earthquake in the alum rock east san reports from peopo were jolted awake this morn the usgs downgraded it this morning. but what a way to wake up. >> yeah, a lot of folks taking to social media saying they were woken up by the earthquake. not sure what was going on. took to social media to check things out. 4.1 to 3.6. good news there. >> i know you're not from california and you didn't feel this one, i don't know if you've ever felt an earthquake. this red dot here symbolizes where the quake happened. and this is sort of along the south bay but it happened in the east foothills. take a look at the intensity map. the intensity map shows how

strong and how maybe light the shaking was. notice the purple color and the light blue color symbolizes weak to light and that's what's populating on our map here. the yellow, orange and red is a much stronger push. once it was downgraded from 4.1 to 3.6 correlates with what people felt this is along the calaveras fault. where you see the blue is where people felt it. people felt it in santa cruz, the morgan hill area. over the 101 as well. to give you an idea of location, that way you can compare to where you live and see if what you felt was the earthquake. now to our current temperatures. we do have a bit of a shift in our weather pattern but it's a positive one. mild conditions as you head out the door. 70 in clear lake and that's

pretty warm. we do have the return of that marine layer starting to make its move. that also helps keep our daytime highs cooler and more comfortable around half moon bay, san francisco, up through the north bay. microclimate highs today our coastal fog for the first half of the morning and we'll see sunny inland temperatures. 69 degrees in oakland. san jose in the upper 70s. concord, livermore, martinez still in the upper 80s. at least no 90s or triple digits. we will take it. santa rosa 83. napa 81. santa cruz 74 degrees. what do we have going on the next couple of days? well, let me get out of this graphic. the computer has been kooky. upper 80s. notice we stick remains pretty h on top for seasonable weather and then 79 degrees by monday. we start to fall into a cooler weather pattern even for inland areas which will bring nice

relief for sure. now over to mike who has breaking news. >> that's right, vianey. this is separate from the earthquake we continue to follow and report. thank you for all who have reached out to us, lots of folks responding to the alum rock area. this is not caused by the earthquake. this happened at 3:15 this morning. a truck overturned. all this garbage spilled out. the same thing for oil and other fluid. fremont fire and chp are on scene. the on and off ramp are closed. take you to the map, not really slowing for the freeway itself. you can use fremont boulevard. use dixon landing road to the south. this is on southbound 880. the freeway moves smoothly ther lot of slowing built up through hayward and down to alvarado boulevard. the crash has been cleared from the two middle lanes. it just took a while. it wasn't a major injury crash. the rest of the bay went smoothly. san jose bridge if folks try to
