Northern California Earthquake Shakes Residents Across 100-Mile Stretch
A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck Northern California early Thursday morning, centered near Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The tremor was felt across a 100-mile stretch, including in San Francisco. The U.S. Geological Survey reported the quake occurred at approximately 1:40 a.m. and was followed by over 25,000 impact reports from residents. Despite the widespread shaking, there were no immediate reports of serious damage. Boulder Creek, a town of about 5,000 people located 65 miles southeast of San Francisco, experienced minor disruptions such as items falling off store shelves. This event follows a series of smaller earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay Area in February, highlighting the region's susceptibility to seismic activity.
