2. Felt it here on the other side of the Bay. Seemed for a second like it might get bigger, but then it
settled down pretty fast.

Didn't feel the one earlier.

6. Definitely went on for a decent amount of time. Usually the small ones are
pretty quick jolts or rolls, but this one kept moving for a bit.

9. Y'all can have and keep them, love and treasure them.
I was on the 6th floor of a wobbly old building in DC when ours hit, and I don't want to experience that again unless I can hug the ground - outside and away from any structures.
