Northern California rocked by magnitude 6.0 earthquake

SACRAMENTO, Calif. –  DEVELOPING...

Officials say an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.0 has been reported in northern California's San Francisco Bay area.

Leslie Gordon of the U.S. Geological Survey says the tremor struck at just before 3:30 a.m. Sunday. The epicenter was about six miles southwest of Napa, California, and about 50 miles west-southwest of Sacramento.

There was no immediate report of damage.
I'm finding only preliminary reports so far. Nothing about damage or injuries.

The USGS report of it I saw earlier said that it was a 6.0, located between Napa and Vallejo (in the NE SF Bay Area), and happened at ~03:21.

I live at the other end of the Bay in San Jose and did not feel it; OTOH, a lady I know who lives a very few miles from me posted on FB that she had felt it. Either those few miles made a difference (plausible, given CA's weird geology), or she sleeps much more lightly than I do. Several FB friends in Woodland (NE of Sacramento) posted that they had felt the quake quite strongly.

The Richter scale is logarithmic, so this 6.0 was about 1/10 the energy of the 1989 Loma Prieta (near Santa Cruz) Earthquake.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
