A 4.6-magnitude earthquake hit Monterey County in California on
Monday morning and it was felt as far as 90 miles away in San
Francisco.
The earthquake occurred near the San Andreas Fault
at a depth of about four miles. No injuries or damage were reported, and
as of Monday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey
reported a low likelihood of causalities and damage.?The structures in
this area are highly resistant to earthquake shaking, according to the
USGS, but some vulnerable structures exist.?The quake was felt as a weak
or light earthquake as far as San Francisco, but moderate shakes were
reported by the USGS in areas with a very low population.
