12:18 pm
preparer her whole desk was shaking and it it seemed like her head was shaking like a doll in the back of a car. it was like whiplash. it was that severe or strong. that powerful. and when i heard it was only a 3.8, i was like oh, god! i was hoping this would be the big one and it would be over with. [ laughter ] >> but yeah. >> obviously because we talk about it so much, it's a 3.3. diane, we are very glad to hear you're okay and everything was all right in that office. >> oh, yeah. >> thanks so much. >> okay. >> thanks so much for sharing your story with us. we're going to talk to david swartz with usgs. we heard it was a 3.3 magnitude, right, david? >> that's correct. >> tell me what a 3.3 magnitude, what that, um, entails? we just talked to people who felt a lot of shaking. >> well, it turns out that the preliminary depth of the
12:19 pm
earthquake was about 3 miles which is relatively shallow. and so 3.3 is really a pretty small event. if it occurred at 6 or 7 or 8 miles, it probably would hardly be felt but because of the shallowness, it -- it -- the shaking seemed stronger. but this is a pretty typical earthquake for that area. the event itself again preliminary location also puts it at that three miles to the west of the hayward fault. and yoknow, we'll just watch and see as additional information comes in and, you know, whether or not something else occurs. >> okay. david swartz of the usgs, thanks so much. >> sure. roberta, you're tracking this as well with usgs and this is a good time to remind everybody out there, we need to get our earthquake kits ready. >> we become lackadaisical,
12:20 pm
don't we? we need our earthquake kits in our garage and be well prepared. and always have a plan when to check in with each other. the cell phones may go down so always have a plan. just to again repeat what they were saying at the usgs just moments ago, a very shallow earthquake. that's why it was felt by so many people. also, it was really centered around three different areas, one mile southeast of el cerrito, and then less than a mile from kensington, one mile north-northeast of albany and three miles from berkeley so it was widespread felt with this minor event. let's take a look at the bay towards the east bay where we had that little minor shaker. you know, this heat wave we're experiencing is far reaching now 118 in phoenix. coachella 119. 128 death valley. low clouds keeping the coast clear and cool. 64 there. just a shallow deck of clouds. but inland, bill moon says he is already up to 85 in orinda.
12:21 pm
so there you have on our visible satellite-radar the clouds looking out from the golden gate bridge, winds have been increasing not so much in the hayward area but you see that 12-mile-per-hour wind in concord and 1313? that's significant because with that wind we keep the air quality moderate instead of unhealthy so it's not a "spare the air" day. dangerous heat through tomorrow. statewide, high pressure is contributing to record highs here. nevada and arizona pick city today if you want to beat the heat santa cruz at 76 degrees. but don't forget the sunblock. today around the state 107 state capital. 109 fresno. we're almost just as hot 104 tri-valley, 106 in throughout the delta. so this is why we have now the extension of the excessive heat warning in effect tonight through tomorrow. sun goes down at 8:35. we begin to co but just get kya 110. then 10 degrees are shaved off that temperature by friday
