the "sacramento bee" reports pink slips due by march 15 will warn teachers and other school employees they could be out of work by the end of this school year. last year about 2500 sacramento county teachers got pink slips but most kempt their jobs in -- kept their jobs in the end when the legislature barred school districts if laying off teachers to balance the budget. the pain at the pump, in san francisco a gallon of gas running an average $4.39. it's $4.32 in oakland. san jose at $4.43. the only good news there it didn't go up overnight. president obama using his weekly radio address to talk about the high gas prices. he says the u.s. automakers will play a big part in saving you money at the pump. we have an earthquake. it's still going. that was a good-- >> that was a good shake. >> usually it's two, three minutes before we get any confirmation about where in hit. as far as the strength of this quake, it was pretty good shaking of the lights. >> when was the last time in

the studio? maybe a month or two ago. it was definitely stronger and definitely longer. after it stopped shaking and you're just finishing to read, the light itself were still -- the lights were still swaying. we're working on getting the number andle we'll be checking the usgs. but that was a big one. >> the biggest one i've felt here in the last ten years i've been here. james getting indication of where this might have hit. >> no magnitude just yet. >> in the east bay. the last one we felt within the last month or so was not centered as far away. let's see if this one turns out to be a little farther away. it could have been even bigger than we had thought. >> looks like it's on the hayward fault near richmond. this is northeast of san francisco and the hayward fault

has been the fault of biggest concern for seismologists in the bay area. knock on wood that was not a massive one. but we did get a little shaking there. >> i saw you looking at the lights. >> i looked at dan as to what to do. there are giant lights above us. shy move or not move? >> jackie is joining us with more. >> reporter: i'm actually in downtown berkley. i was just sitting in the van and you definitely felt it over here. it started off small, felt a small shake and then it started to increase over here. i would say it lasted somewhere between 8 and 10 seconds or so over in this area but definitely felt a good jolt over here in the berkley area. >> this was centered near ellisor rita, about a mile from east richmond heights and 2 miles from richmond. looks like it was right on the hayward fault. >> last time again compared to the last jolt that we got here

in the studio, that was not on the fault because i remember you asking them where was that quake and we're waiting for the hayward. >> the last one, the 3s that were up in vallejo and everyone really surprised because not a real active fault in that area to the northeast ever the hayward fault. good morning. >> reporter: that was not a nice way for me to wake up. i know you've been awake for a long time but wow. the house was shaking and the lights, the lights on the end table were going back and forth. wow. how big was that? >> we don't know yet. we're still waiting for the magnitude to come in. >> did you feel -- the last one we felt here at kron was sharp and done. this one felt rolling and longer for sure. did you feel that? >> this was the long type, you know. this is the one where i was like grabbing stuff to get out of the house as fast as possible. >> where are you?

>> i'm over in green bay. that was really something. >> did the kids wake up? >> i was grabbing -- i really felt like i needed to grab them and get out of the house because it was like one of those ones where i was like, oh, boy, this is going to be a big one. >> there wasn't enough time -- there was enough time to think. it was very long. >> a big thud with that one. it felt far on the bay area with it being centered up there and across the bay in marin here in san francisco and i'm sure up and down the hayward fault. >> a 4.3. what about bart? >> on hold. all train service suspended. they'll start running in manual mode in order to do track inspections. that will mean some delays for probably the next half-hour. >> let's see, at 5:37. then at 6:00 or so, that could impact the morning commuters on

bart. but definitely it will be interesting to see the injuries or damage come in just because this is the biggest one we've seen in a while at a 4.3. usually they've been in the mid- 3s. >> we'll see how that manages to hold up. it's coming in as a 4.3. if you live near the epicenter, give us a call. an earthquake this morning, a 4.3 hitting just moments ago. >> we'll take a short break. actually, let's continue our coverage here as we wait for more of you to give us calls. we're following this from the newsroom as well. justine has the latest there. >> reporter: we're following right now what people are telling us on facebook. i have to admit i didn't feel anything. i was walking in the newsroom and everyone started saying did you feel it? i didn't feel anything and i'm like on high alert for earthquakes all the time. but people are just going right now to our facebook fan page telling us where they are and what they felt. so many people are saying yes, they have felt this earthquake

evening. i guess this bolted you out of bed early. >> yeah, way too early. i was sleeping and it woke me up. we're sort of near the square towards the northern end of san francisco. i was sound asleep until i felt this little roller. the dog started howling as he does and we are both now wide awake. >> good morning. >> yeah, good morning to you good did you see lights go on and everything with neighbors and that sort of thing. could you tell it woke everybody up? >> yeah, we live in a building. i didn't see much in the way of lights. we heard people sort of coming to a little earlier than normal probably. i don't think it's a big deal. i don't think it was a huge one. i don't know. i haven't even seen what it registered. >> just brought it down. it was a 4.3. now it's coming in as a 4.0.

>> have you had a chance to see if anything fell off the shelf? >> nothing fell off the shelf. i did do a quick survey and we're all intact here fortunately. but, you know, a little something to get the week started. >> absolutely. thanks a lot, grant. that's the thing is here in the studio, we have these giant lights. i can't -- how much do they weigh? they weigh more than i do. they're huge and swing above us. we have the deserve and i'm thinking -- the desk and i'm thinking should i go under the desk? it's long enough and i know him long enough that he's reading it and you're not going to like n. i'm going to do what you do. >> i was on camera that's why i didn't jump under the desk. >> but you should. >> you should especially with objects overhead. you have to be careful of what's around you. always a great reminder to make sure you have your earthquake supply kit ready with water and dry food and at least three days supply of water. there you see the update there

it back on earthquake tracker map. we'll zoom in so you get a better idea of the epicenter. in the hills east of richmond. 4.0 the magnitude. i'll bring that back up on the screen so you have the vital details on this he can't quake before we hand it over to george who is also following the traffic aspect because as with any earthquake, bart and other transit agencies go on alert. >> it's a ten-minute hold for bart. once the hold is released, trains are operated in manual mode for as much time as it takes for operators to do visual inspections of the track and trackway. so far no indications that there's going to be any damage reported to the bart system. but people entering the system now are likely to expect ten to ten-minute delays as things start to get back to normal for -- 10 to 20-minute delays as things start to get back to normal for them. we'll take a quick break. introducing the new flip & fresh om air wick

this area lately. so it's nothing new to these folks but definitely felt it here in berkley this morning. >> this one right on the hayward fault. it runs through of course the entire east bay where jack question is as well. centered just to the north of him in el cerrito and that was the center of that quake this morning. shaky as he said felt like two incidents to him but it really was just one quake, a 4.0. first came in as a 4.3 but downgraded to a 4.0. >> the last one was sharp and loud and strong and quick. this one rolling and lasted about 9 seconds or so. so wondering how you felt it at home. in fact, we have rich on the phone. where do you live, rich? >> i'm in san francisco at 17 and castro. and it definitely woke me up. it was not a jolting feeling. it was a rumbling feeling. i don't know if you can still hear in my voice, i'm still kind of sleepy. it woke me up. it was -- i could definitely

tell when the earthquake had started. everything was kind of shaking slightly but it wasn't anything too drastic. but i couldn't tell when it ended because once the adrenaline was going and my heart was pumping, i was kind of shaking, just by myself. >> thanks for calling in this morning. that was the thing. it was kind of the rolling, the shaking. you start to think if this lasts for a few more seconds, we're going to be in trouble. but it stopped. it came in as a 4.0 he can't quake hitting a few minutes ago. just to the north of el cerrito on the hay wad fault. the recent -- hayward fault. the recent earthquakes. we'll read comments coming on facebook right after the break. ♪
