San Francisco Bay Area is rocked by a 5.1-magnitude earthquake

The San Francisco Bay Area was rocked by a 5.1 on the Richter scale earthquake that shook buildings and shook windows.

The earthquake struck at 11:42 a.m. with the epicenter in San Jose, California on the Calaveras Fault. Preliminary reports from the US Geological Survey show it was 4.2 miles deep, making it a shallow earthquake.

It was felt all over the Bay Area, with residents as far north as Fairfield, as far east as Stockton, and as far south as Salinas reporting tremors.

The earthquake was then followed by a Aftershock measuring 3.1 on the Richter scale, but the National Weather Service has said it doesn’t expect any tsunamis as a result.

It is now the largest earthquake to hit the area since a 6.0 on the Richter scale struck Napa in 2014, damaging buildings and injuring more than 100 people.

But neither San Jose nor Santa Cruz officials have reported any injuries or damage so far.

Several Californians reported that the new Shake Alert system gave them about five to 10 seconds to prepare for the earthquake before it hit.

As a result, some buildings in the Bay Area were evacuated as residents feared the earthquake would cause massive damage.

According to the Earthquake Information CenterCalifornia experiences two or three earthquakes a year.

The California Governor’s Emergency Services Office is now working with local authorities in the region to evaluate any preliminary damage or problems from the earthquake and to provide any assistance needed at the state level.

Meanwhile, Caltrain and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority are now operating at slower speeds, with the VTA announcing that it is investigating its tracks following the quake.
