steps of the capitol. today's protest is the culmination of a series of rallies that began last week. they are demanding an end to educating cuts and new tax on california's highest income earners to help restore school funding. those are live pictures right now of the gathering outside the capitol these students, teachers, waiting to hear from some of the lawmakers lt. governor gavin newsom expects to address them. our other top story, two nearly simultaneous earthquakes joeled the bay area this morning. >> there were no injuries or serious damage reported. the usgs says the first 2.9 hit at 5:33 at el cerrito, seven seconds later the second struck. >> people felt the cake from napa to santa cruz here's what happened in -- felt the quake from napa to santa cruz here's what happened in our studio.

>> i believe we are feeling a pretty big quake. the studio is shaking we want to take a moment to let you know. we have the seismograph, we just had a quake in the bay area. it appears sizeable. >> we have live team coverage. wayne freedman is at uc berkeley. >> let's begin with amy hollyfield at the mira vista country club near the epicenter. >> reporter: the hayward fall runs right through here if you think about it is a good use of land above a fault, a golf course so they weren't terribly worried about the area they were concerned about the old buildings you can see the clubhouse is still standing. >> about 5:30 everything started to shake a little at first and a little more, a pause and it shook the building pretty good. >> reporter: the staff of the country club was in a meeting when the quake hit. the hayward fault runs through their property underneath this fairway.

employees knew they needed to head out immediately and look for problems. >> haven't seen any damage yet. had a few guys going around to check to make sure there isn't irrigation breaks, everything seems good. >> reporter: the buildings here are almost 100-years-old the chimneys are still standing. the usgs placed a shake monitor here to take readings from this faultline. the big shock this morning was what the monitor found. >> was a pretty goojolt to find out it was only a 4.0, i thought it was bigger. >> reporter: the neighborhood was jolted awake this morning. everyone and everything appeared okay. >> i felt an initial pop then i heard a roar behind the pop then all of a sudden my house started to shake. i walked around the house to make sure there was no damage. in fact, there was none. >> jumped out of bed to make sure everything was okay, the family was okay. >> reporter: residents saw

each other's lights turning on after the quake and the texts and e-mails started flying. >> your heart rate increases a bit as you get one of these tumblers this was a little more aggressive. >> reporter: what we did find this morning, beautiful views. we feel like we can see it all from up here, including life going on after this quake. a lot of people talking this one, no major damage reported. i just checked in with dispatch, the dispatcher told me police have not been responding to any earthquake-related calls. amy hollyfield, abc7 news. wayne freedman is live at uc berkeley and talked to scientists at the seismology lab there. >> reporter: they are still pouring over data. one thing interesting where amy is standing now, no accident that quake happened there it is called the el cerrito cluster. there have been 18 earthquakes of magnitude 2.9 or larger in that same spot in the last

four think years this is typical for the hayward fault the question is why did we have two and were they related? yes, the first is called a foreshock, the rest the main shock. they are all earthquakes. if you get a cluster of quakes that are associated in space they are all at the same location in time close to together in time. the biggest one is call the main shock the ones that precede it are called foreshocks, after, are called aftershocks. >> reporter: do they trigger each other? >> basically, yes they would be considered cause effect related because they occur so close together in time and in the same spatial location. >> reporter: just because we had an earthquake and it relieved stress in that area, do not take any comfort. the doctor said that even a magnitude 6 quake tends to relieve no stress in the larger picture. for example, if you look at the last 100 years in the bay

area, 85% of all the stress was relieved by the 1906 quake. the other 15%, everything else, like the quakes this morning, were negligent -- negligible, whatever word, they were negligent and negligible. wayne freedman, abc7 news. they remind us to pack our emergency kits. even though there was no serious damage we did get a few reports of minor damage mostly things falling off shelves. a viewer from penngrove in sonoma county sent this picture. if you have photos or video we would like to see it upload them to ureport.abc7news.com. also to find out how you can be prepared for the next quake and to track all the quakes in our area check out the quake
