epicenter there in berkeley this morning. we've talked to a lot of people who have felt it from the berkeley area all the way down to santa cruz, throughout san francisco, oakland, just a lot of people. >> the question always for our public transit agencies is did it affect the tracks. we have lynn from the vta by phone. >> good morning, marcus and kris. yeah, so our routine efforts involved some precautionary measures and what we usually do when the system is in place -- or in service, rather, is we stop all of our trains and we deboard anybody who is on and then we move any trains that are kind of like in the middle of an overpass and we go at restricted speeds of about 15 miles per hour just to check everything, and that including overhead tracks, substation and platform areas and maintenance yards. as you are well aware this occurred at 2:00 something in the morning so our trains were not really impacted. we were just sharing with everyone at the start of passenger service -- i mean, at the start of light rail service we

but the epicenter was in berkeley. later this morning we expect to hear from seismologists' usgs about the nature of the earthquake, how deep was and what this means for future earthquakes. again, a 4.4 earthquake hitting the bay area at 2:39 a.m. lasting for 5 seconds. jessica flores, kpix 5. >> you live in oakland, jessica. what exactly did you feel this morning? >> reporter: yeah. so i actually had my alarm set for about that time so it kind of coincided with my alarm and i was kind of disoriented for a second about what's going on hearing my alarm, hearing my door shake in front of me. so my husband actually woke up and he is, like, um, is that our neighbors? what's going on? so we actually didn't know right away that it was an earthquake. but you know, it was clear after checking twitter that this was an earthquake. so we didn't probably feel it as strong as those folks in berkeley and right along the hayward fault line because we're kind of higher up in the oakland hills. but we did feel it. it was a pretty stron

. >> we did, once again, measure a 4.5 magnitude earthquake just to the east of berkeley. a lot of people describe it as more of a rolling kind of earthquake, that one also being measured as well as another one about an hour later around cupertino. so we did have a lot more people in the south bay feeling some earthquakes this morning, being shaken out of bed, and also dealing with a very unnerving situation here to start out this thursday morning. now, that first earthquake occurred on the hayward fault, the last major earthquake we had on this fault was very long ago, so we know that we are very much overdue for a major earthquake there and the reason why we do pay attention to these small earthquakes is because it could be a foreshock to something a lot more major, but the last magnitude 7.0 we had was back in the 1800s that killed 30 people. now is the time to make sure you do have a plan. if you do start to feel that shaking make sure you drop, cover and hold. those are the three words to remember. get under some sturdy furniture, a desk or a table. after the quake ma

the epicenter on the map, berkeley, it could be felt as far as san jose and richmond. look at this seismograph, you can see that jolt that happened right there, that was felt as far south as morgan hill, certainly felt in the south bay, certainly felt in oakland as we heard some of our producers and pete suratos in the oakland hills area, he was reporting about that. certainly a situation that rocked a lot of people this morning. >> one of our web editors lives in san francisco, she tweeted a picture she was actually outside her home because the fire alarms went off in her building so they were outside with the fire department. this is video from san ka[÷lean the safeway there. you see not major damage, but some of the lighter items falling off the ?jutj there this /morning. they did give usú" permission see this. if you have video yím pictures like this of-.l what you saw th morning, do make sure you tag us in your social media posts or you can e-mail them to us @i see at nbc obamaca.com. >> we want to go to meteorologist kari hall who has been tracking the weather a

a berkeley it's a drop in bucket. i do think there's a scale question and where the media always go for the most extreme voices. i always think, you know, that some of this crisis of election hasp again created a political that ournt chancellors like to say a shadow world that lies the university distorted has what actually goes on in the campus. if we take ben shapiro. shapiro came to berkeley of 2017. the trumphs after election. he was invited by the college republicans, exactly college republicans showed up to hear him speak, and he left campus and no one noticed. months later, after the milo episode, ben shapiro comes to campus. costs us $600,000 in security. upusands of people show to see him give exactly the same speech. so this has so much more to do with the external environment, this world of media that you're talking about, than it does environment of the campus. many, many conservative speakers, that spring that milo came, elliott abrahams was on the campus, ben the campus, i mean, i could run a list of wer

i happen to be on the berkeley side of this debate, a site taken by our dean of our law school. but it has come back into the conversation to what extent does the faculty and the administration have the right to sort of limit the kind of speech to exercise professional discretion what kind of speech should be on the campus. so it has been brought back into the conversation, but i think they can be clearly separated. >> jonathan, i wonder there are helpful distinction to be drawn here. it appears maybe academic freedom is sort of an inside issue as carla or some people describe. carla describes some people describing it and free speech for the outside issue, the interface of the college for the university with the public at large. is that a helpful distinction? >> i've not thought of it that way, but it wouldn't take much to persuade me that that is an effective way of thinking about it. what it does highlight for me though is this inner outer a affiant to something appointed want to make that it does address your question, about public and private and social good. the fact is yo

that's something new at berkeley. i don't -- i think partly because of these media ruptures but partly because of the way classroom technology also has changed, this is moment in which we need to do much, much more in terms of onboarding and training forphic lty and graduate students. and we are at berkeley underinvested in what i would call cocurricular kinds of efforts. i think that's a very well-taken point. >> i'll just add you just changed northwestern's faculty orientation for next year. so thank you. >> and it's better now. >> it'll be better. >> i do think, though, that one way of describing that would be to encourage self-censorship among the faculty. in other words, to say be careful about what you say online because we won't -- either we won't protect you or we will get you. so i mean the nice part is we want to protect you from bad trolls. but the mean part is if you say i think -- i'm not going to say it actually because we're on c-span. say something that might play well with your friends at a new school

that is quite new at berkeley. the assumption was the phd process was a process that actually acculturated you into how to be a professor and, probably because of these media ruptures but partly because of the classroom technology has changed, this is a moment in which we need to do much more in terms of training both for faculty, for graduate students, and even for undergraduate students. we are under invested in what i would call coke regular kinds of -- co-curricular kinds of efforts. that's a well taken point. >> change northwestern's faculty orientation for next year. thank you. >> it's better now. >> it will be better. >> i think one way of describing that would be to encourage self-censorship among the faculty. be careful about what you say online because we won't -- either we won't protect you, or we will get you. the nice part is, we want to protect you from bad trolls, but the main part is, if you say i think -- i'm not going to say it actually because we are on life c-span. but i might say something that
