While earthquakes of this magnitude are relatively common in Northern California, the shaking prompted precautionary measures.
San Francisco's Muni transit system temporarily halted subway services to inspect tunnels for possible damage. Services were expected to resume shortly after inspections were completed.
According to Fox Weather, no damage or injuries were reported, but the morning shaking served as a reminder of the region's seismic activity.
