The earthquake was reported just after 8:14 a.m. in a Bay Area town rattled by more than 300 temblors since November.
Many of the state’s largest earthquakes have struck near the junction, where the Pacific, North American and Gorda plates meet. This area also forms the boundary between two infamous threats: the San Andreas Fault system, which runs across most of California, and the Cascadia subduction zone, which goes up to Vancouver Island, Canada.
