"There are on the order of 50 earthquakes a day in California. These magnitude earthquakes don't happen very frequently, but they happen frequently enough that there are these reminders that we do live in earthquake country."
"It was super loud, I woke up, jumped out of bed, ran to my daughter's room and then saw that she was fine and nothing really fell over in my house except for a mirror."
A 4.6 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Santa Cruz Mountains at 1:41 a.m., centered near Boulder Creek. Initially reported as 4.9, it was downgraded to 4.6. Residents across the Bay Area felt the shaking, with reports from Richmond, Mountain View, Hayward, Pacheco, Oakland, and San Francisco. No aftershocks have been recorded, but a 40% chance of a larger quake exists within the week. Minor disturbances were noted, including items falling in a local drug store, but no significant damage was reported.
