For many young people in San Jose, Tuesday's 5.1 magnitude earthquake on the Calaveras Fault was their very first.
SAN JOSE -- People who live closer to the earthquake's epicenter in South San Jose said they definitely felt the shaking.
"At first, I was a bit confused. I thought there was construction going on outside," said Oshinsky."Then I realized that it wasn't construction. Once I saw other people's reaction like getting under desks and following standard procedures, then I followed as well." "Especially living in the Bay Area, I think that we are taught in elementary school from an early age to go under our desks and seek protection and all the standard stuff. Very similar to the stop, drop and roll in fires. I think that's normal for us," he said.
