There have not been any reports of damage. The temblor was on the Calaveras Fault, which last produced a notable earthquake in October 2007 when a 5.4-magnitude quake struck, according to the USGS.

On Aug. 24, 2014, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake in the North Bay killed one person, injured more than 200 others and caused millions of dollars in damage. A swarm of more than 540 quakes in San Ramon shook the East Bay over the summer. A 4.0-magnitude quake that struck the Hayward fault in the East Bay in August rattled nerves and elicited some unique responses that were captured on camera.
