NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – A 4.1-magnitude earthquake was reported Thursday evening in Napa County.
The quake occurred at 7:53 p.m. at a depth of nearly five miles, according to the US Geological Survey.
Its epicenter was located 6 miles east northeast of Yountville, 9 miles north of Napa and 14 miles northeast of Sonoma, the US Geological Survey said.
Officer Anna Paulson of the California Highway Patrol's Napa office said despite a bit of shaking – which she felt at the CHP offices while teaching a Start Smart teen driving class Thursday night – everything appeared to be OK in Napa County, based on reports from the field.
Hundreds of shake reports were submitted to the US Geological Survey from around Northern California, with some Middletown residents also reporting that they felt it.
Napa County sustained major damage Aug. 24 when a 6-magnitude quake hit the area.
