Santa Clara had 2 seconds of advance warning, and Sunnyvale had 4 seconds. San Francisco got 18 seconds of warning, though was outside the "ground motion" zone.

I honestly thought it was someone rolling a big cart across the floor above mine. I was really surprised when I saw 5ish magnitude.

Definitely worth checking the earthquake kit though!
