San Andreas fault hit by earthquake swarm

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.
