Authorities say a magnitude 4.0 earthquake聽rattled the San Francisco Bay Area in California, but no injuries or property damage was immediately reported.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake hit shortly after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. The earthquake, with a depth of about 7 miles, was centered about a mile north of Fremont, which is located about 35 miles southeast of San Francisco.
Two smaller quakes were reported following the initial temblor, according to the USGS. Those quakes had initial magnitudes of 2.6 and 2.7 and were also centered near Fremont.
Here's how the USGS describes the Hayward Fault:
The Fremont Police Department told The Associated Press that there have been no reports of damage or injuries.
The quake comes about 11 months after a magnitude 6.0聽earthquake聽struck the region in late August 2014. It was the largest quake to hit Northern California in a quarter-century. That quake killed one woman and injured hundreds of other people while causing about $400 million in property damage in Napa Valley.
