A 3.2-magnitude earthquake struck a city in California late Wednesday evening.
The tremor hit close to Gustine in Stanislaus County at approximately 9:18 p.m. This area is situated in California’s Central Valley.
The earthquake occurred at a depth of about 0.7 kilometers, with its epicenter located just northwest of the San Luis Reservoir. Reports to the US Geological Survey indicated that at least six people felt the quake, including one individual all the way from San Francisco.
Commenters on social media mentioned feeling little to no effects from the quake. However, some noted their pets appeared to be more attuned to the vibrations. One person said, “I didn’t feel a single thing,” while another mentioned their dog was acting strangely, barking at seemingly nothing, which seems odd, right?
On the other hand, some individuals actually felt the tremor, characterizing it as “gentle.” One commenter shared, “I felt the quake. It was very gentle,” while another recounted a more intense experience, stating, “Yeah, I was smack in the middle of Loma Prieta 10-17-89! That was an earthquake.”
Located around 30 miles south of Modesto, Gustine is a small city primarily focused on agriculture.
Interestingly, two other earthquakes occurred in California the same day, including a 3.3 magnitude quake near Petrolia and a 3.1 magnitude quake near Likely.
