4.4-Magnitude Earthquake Centered In Santa Rosa Shakes Bay Area

SANTA ROSA, CA— A 4.4-magnitude earthquake jolted the Santa Rosa area around 6:39 p.m. Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The Sonoma County quake was centered about 2 miles north of Santa Rosa and 8 miles south of Windsor.

A second earthquake with a magnitude of 3.9 struck one minute later at 6:40 p.m., the USGS said.

The earthquakes were felt across much of the North Bay and the Bay Area, including in Petaluma, Napa, San Rafael, San Francisco, Oakland, Moraga and Millbrae — more than 60 miles away from the epicenter, the USGS said.

There were no immediate reports of major injuries or damages, the Santa Rosa Police Department said.

"The Santa Rosa Police Department as well as most of Santa Rosa and the surrounding areas felt the earthquake a short time ago," SRPD said in a Nixle alert issued at 7:01 p.m. Tuesday. "At this time the police department has not received any reports of major damage or major injuries as a result of the earthquake. The police department is fully operational."

While there were no reports of injuries, the Santa Rosa Fire Department responded to multiple reports of gas leaks, fire alarms and stuck elevators.

This is a developing story.
