Dispatchers with Gilroy, Calif., police said they usually receive at least a few calls, even about small quakes, but no one seemed to notice the earth move at approximately 6:39 p.m. PST Monday about 7 miles east-southeast of the city, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Tuesday.
"Usually we get flooded with call from people wanting to make sure we knew there was a quake," a dispatcher who identified herself as Mary said. "But we got nothing."
