people we spoke to throughout the area. >> i was in the elevator. i thought it was a cheap elevator, what's going on? >> reporter: pretty scary? >> it was. >> not too bad. because we're used to because we're californians. >> i thought it was scary! [ laughter ] >> i have no idea. >> it was good. it was great. welcome to san francisco. >> that's what said. >> we were looking at the sights and were were going like this so yeah, we felt it. i felt it. >> reporter: we have confirmed that just a short distance away from here on the cal memorial campus construction crews who were actually working on a seismic upgrade of that stadium did also feel the earthquake and were able to continue with their work on that upgrade. from here we are going to turn it over to mark sayre in menlo park. he spoke to the u.s. geological survey today about this quake. mark. >> reporter: well, christin, seismologists here at the usgs says everything about the quake is that it's on the hayward

fault but they caution they need to get additional data instrumentation, additional readings, before they can say that absolutely 100% for sure. >> bk is berkeley so now it's very close in just a sharp pulse. >> reporter: the doctor with the usgs says the epicenter of the quake was just south of the uc-berkeley campus at a depth of 6 miles. >> so it's down quite distance in terms of distance from the surface. however, it was felt widely throughout the san francisco bay area. >> reporter: residents from as far south as santa cruz as far north as santa rosa, and into the sacramento area reported feeling the quake. >> so this is a strike foot motion so the hayward fault is a right lateral so one side moves when you look across the fault moves to the right relative to if you're staying on the opposite side. the same type of fault is the san andreas fault. >> reporter: as to the question could this be a foreshock to the big one?

dr. aguard says that's possible but probably unlikely. >> there's always a chance that this could be followed by a larger earthquake. but the chances of that happening decrease rapidly with time. >> reporter: now, geophysicists say they are not surprised by the fact that different parts of the bay area are giving different reports. one person felt a sharp jolt, others reported more than one jolt spaced over time. that's consistent with the way that the different waves called s and p waves originate from these earthquakes travel through the soil. so depending on where you are you probably experienced this differently. they are not surprised once again allen, they believe this was a hayward fault quake but they can't say that absolutely for sure until they get more data in from sensors. >> as far as aftershocks, have they said anything to you? i have only heard of one, it was pretty small. >> reporter: yeah. they have had a few. there was one that was a 0.8 another i think was a 1.8. there may have been an additional one from them. they have all been semiautomatic. they say it is en -- they have all been small.

they say it is nothing bigger than the 4.0. >> thank you, mark sayre and christin ayers. we just saw the stadium at cal there, a timely retrofitting going on. thanks. for more information on today's quake and earthquake preparedness, log on to our website, cbssf.com. another big story we're following, the death of ousted libyan leader moammar qaddafi. people in libya are celebrating the end of his rule knowing he will never return to power. tara mergener shows us the final moments of qaddafi's life. >> reporter: bloody images on al-jazeera tv show muammar qaddafi captured alive. during a violent clash in his hometown of sirte, rebels pushed the former dictator against a truck. he may have been trying to flee in a convoy when nato plane struck from above. rebels took videos and photographs after they killed qaddafi to prove he is dead. fighters fired shots into the air. as people celebrated on the streets of tripoli to mark the

looking for a place to live can be a painful process. but in some parts of the bay area, it really hurts! rents are through the roof in the south bay and the peninsula. and len ramirez tells us, people are paying more for different reasons. len. >> reporter: well, that's right. no matter with your live in the bay area right now, you have likely seen your rent go up by quite a bit. in fact, in many parts of the bay area, rents have returned or even surpassed their pre- recession levels. >> $3,500 for a house, 5 bedrooms. >> reporter: rents have always been high in silicon valley but this first time renter was surprised how now the sky seems to be the limit. >> our landlord raised our rent $200 right before we moved in. >> reporter: a new report shows bay area rents especially in the south bay and peninsula are on the rise. in santa clara county, the average apartment rental is now $1,792 a month up almost 13% from a year ago according to real fax. in san mateo county prices

average $1,866 a month up almost 11% in a year. analysts say two things are happening. silicon valley is hiring again increasing the demand for rentals and many former homeowners are entering the rental market because they have to. >> a lot of people who could not afford to make a $6,000 a month mortgage payment gave up their house and their credit took a hit but now they will have that kind of disposable income so they will center to go and rent a place for $1,500 or $2,000 a month, they can do that. >> two bedrooms... >> reporter: ron stern who runs a service called bay rentals says high-priced neighborhoods are driving up the averages but he says there are still some decent places that are affordable. >> in santa clara county, in general under $1,500 for two bedrooms. we have 75 different places. >> reporter: still, with demand and prices high, people worry that they will eventually get priced out of the area. >> the whole economy is going bad so everybody from the tenant to the landlord are trying to, you know, make ends meet so unfortunately, it's a double end sword. >> reporter: some places in the

bay area have risen even more. in fact, elizabeth, cupertino is the city with the highest year-to-year gain. it's gone up 18% in the city of cupertino in just one year. the big convenient probably the fact that cupertino has some of the best schools in the state. but yet 18% that's an enormous increase for people to pay. >> it's getting very expensive out there. len, thank you. republican presidential candidate michele bachmann returned to the bay area today. it's her second visit in just about a month. she spoke at the commonwealth club of california in san francisco. she spoke about how to fix america's financial future. she pulled no punches when talking about the current administration. >> but when government gets in the business of blindly choosing winners and losers as in the case of the solyndra of this administration, then it becomes our cash for government's clunkers. and worse, american competitiveness in the world

becomes badly damaged. that's the casualty. >> last month bachmann spoke at a private home in marin for about 150 supporters. they paid $100 each to hear her speak. since then, the minnesota congressman has been struggling in the polls. it's a case of satellite deja vu. a piece of space junk is heading to earth again. a defunct european satellite will plummet through the sky late saturday or early sunday. the german aerospace center estimates that the chance of anyone being struck by debris is one in 2,000. the nasa satellite that fell last month, the injury risk was one in 3200. unfortunately, experts can't pinpoint exactly where it's headed. >> we need more precise information. >> that's right. >> struggling with the fog. >> once the fog pushes onshore tonight in the overnight hours, then it clears out tomorrow, we are going to be enjoying

nothing but sunshine all the way through the end of the month. now, yeah, end of the month! let's go ahead and look at some of our current temperatures right now. we are in the 70s east of the bay in concord and in livermore. it is 70 degrees in san jose. upper 60s to the north and inn santa rosa and san francisco the recipient of a west wind 10 to 20 miles per hour. cooler air mass has now pushed onshore. it's live, it's our cbs 5 weather camera. this particular time, looks like we're looking out towards nothing but blue skies, wow, the valley looks good at this hour. tonight overnight everybody becomes overcast because the clouds come onshore in san francisco then drive due east, 51 overnight in concord. mid-50s in mountain view. 53 north of the golden gate bridge. temperatures basically 50 to 57 degrees. tomorrow, it looks like we will wake up to more overcast skies and then sunshine but the dry weather pattern all the way through the endof the workweek

leads to high fire danger. marine layer roughly 1600 feet deep pushes towards the altamont pass so a good 65 miles and then we clear out during the daytime hours even at the coast where today it was cloudy and cool. we have high pressure expanding with the departure of the area of low pressure that's providing some rain showers in throughout the pacific northwest. but as this expands again it heats up the atmosphere, it dries it out. the humidity plummets into the teens by monday and tuesday. until then, 60s at the coast, 76 in santa clara, 78 degrees the outside number in our inland areas of the eastern portion of our district. the winds are going to be breezy tomorrow afternoon. northwest 10 to 20. at 77 degrees in petaluma, the extended forecast does call for the dry weather pattern and temperatures near 90 degrees by sunday. wow! then monday night, offshore flow, really kicks in with very aggressive strong winds at the coast, and also in our higher

elevations. that will lead to the potential of that high fire danger monday night all the way through wednesday. so this weekend since you're planning outdoor activities anyway with the stellar conditions, the pristine visibility, get on outside, do your grooming of all your landscaping and get the work done. >> going to go for a bike ride. >> you can do that, too!

well now one local specialist is sounding an alarm. ies are being given no doubt you have seen the drugs to treat acid reflux disease. now one local specialist is saying too many babies are being given the drug, babies! dr. kim explains. >> reporter: the use of these

drugs in infants has skyrocketed in the last decade. and direct-to-consumer advertising is thought to play a major role. it's a practice that spells trouble. for kelly lynn it's time for a check-up her well baby visit. she is 14 months old and the picture of health. but according to a new report, too many infants younger than kelly are being overdiagnosed and overtreated for what most consider an adult problem. but the ads call acid reflux. >> if you suffer from persistent heartburn two days a week or more despite diet change and treatment it may be acid reflux disease. >> they are being given a diagnosis for what they don't have and treatment they don't need. >> reporter: over five years the number of infants prescribed medication rose 16- fold. a gastroenterologist says we are treating normal life as a disease. >> there are two symptoms. spitting up and crying.

>> reporter: he says most reflux and infants is physiological, normal spitting up. >> and most of it isn't acid because it's buffered by frequent feedings. >> reporter: people who take acid suppressing drugs have higher pneumonia, gastroenteritis and infections and poor absorption. >> if you have the condition the drugs will work well. if you don't have the condition, then the risks outweigh the benefits. >> reporter: he says if you are concerned, have your baby evaluated. but don't be quick to swallow all that advertising. >> really, before you're demanding a medication, just make sure that they are not other options that could be pursued first. some of the complaints -- many of the complaints in otherwise healthy thriving infants will outgrow them with time. >> he says when severe unexplained crying occurs in a healthy thriving infant, sensitivity to cow's milk protein or other components of

the breast-feeding mom's diet or formula may play a role. some babies once crying are unable to calm themselves. this improves with age and maturation. being new in the world and getting used to new bodily sensation like gassiness can also play a role. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,, ♪ [ ukulele strumming ]
