I live and work in San Mateo, (south of SF by about 15 miles) and I didn't feel a gorram thing.

We were thinking it was about a 3-4 until we learned it was so far away.
No damage, other than a few panic attacks.

Yep, just about every known or experimental predictor and measurement tool is in that area. eta: Not for 'the big one,' but because that is the most active area on the San Andreas line. Lots of temblors hit that area.

Well, I'm in Michigan, so I obviously didn't feel anything, but it was kind of weird to have a quake in Parkfield the same day, and within just an hour or two, of when we were watching this video about the earthquake cycle there and all the instruments they have set up.

We just spent a few minutes on it today and talked a bit about the aftershocks and what a *%^&* the San Andreas can be.
