SAN RAMON (CBS SF) -- An earthquake registering a magnitude of 3.6 struck the inland East Bay early Thursday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey's automated seismograph alert network.

There are no immediate reports of damage.

Over 3,700 people responded feeling the quake via USGS' website.

"All of a sudden I know this sounds a little weird, I felt a little dizzy," said San Ramos resident Ross Butler. "And then all of a sudden, I saw my screen started moving back and forth. And I just sat there and I backed up off my chair ... (it) lasted for 3 to 5 seconds."

Twitter users throughout the East Bay also said they felt the earthquake.

Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut posted that he felt the quake at his new home.
