An earthquake measuring a 3.8 magnitude shook a portion of eastern Contra Costa County Wednesday evening and was felt across a number of Bay Area communities.

"Holy Moly that was a loud jolt!" said Ana Gotelli, who posted a surveillance video of the moment the quake hit.
"Felt it in Danville off Camino Tassajara near the Mustang Soccer Fields," said Laura Sue. "A quick jolt."
