Magnitude 4.0 earthquake hits San Francisco
(MENAFN- Arab News) SAN FRANCISCO: A 4.0-magnitude earthquake shook the San Francisco area Monday the US Geological Survey reported but no major damage or injuries were immediately reported.
Its epicenter was one mile north of Piedmont about 13 miles (21 km) east of San Francisco on the Hayward Fault.
'#earthquake tremors felt in #SanFrancisco. Always be prepared!' the city of San Francisco said on its Twitter page.
The quake hit at 6:49 a.m. (1349 GMT) at a depth of 3.3 miles USGS said.
An AFP correspondent in Alameda across the bay from San Francisco and near the epicenter said he was awakened by a gentle rumble that ended with a sharp jolt after about five seconds.
He said picture frames rattled on the walls and that dishes bounced around but he reported no major damage. Another California resident living near the epicenter also felt the ground shake.
'The center was just down the street. There was no damage it just woke us up' photographer Frederick Neema said.
An AFP reporter living in San Francisco itself said she felt the quake distinctly but there was no damage in her home.
Oakland police Lt. Chris Bolton said on Twitter about an hour after the quake hit there were no reports of damage.
