3.6 Quake Shakes Conta Costa County

A 3.6-magnitude earthquake shook Contra Costa County this evening,
according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake struck about 2 miles south of Hercules just after 7 p.m.
and had a 6-mile depth, according to the USGS.

A witness in Alameda felt her apartment building shake just after
the quake began.

"I thought it was the Rapture," she said.

Harold Camping, founder of the Oakland-based Family Radio network,
predicted earlier this year that the Rapture -- the ascension of millions of
earth dwellers into heaven marked by a massive earthquake -- would take place
today.

The quake was 8 miles north of Berkeley and 9 miles south of
Vallejo.
