Power outage after 6.0 quake hits N. California 24 August 2014. Power blackouts have been accounted for in North Bay zone of San Francisco and around the city of Napa, after California was shaken by a 6.0 extent quake. Onlookers say windows were broken in the influenced zone.

Occupants of the urban communities of San Francisco, almost 40 miles away, and Davis, a little more than 70 miles away, rapidly took to Twitter reporting feeling the shake.

The USGS measured the tremor as “direct.” No torrent cautioning was issued. There were no quick reports of wounds.
