SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Officials say an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.0 has been reported in northern California’s San Francisco Bay area.

Leslie Gordon of the U.S. Geological Survey says the tremor struck at just before 3:30 a.m. Sunday about 10 miles northwest of American Canyon, which is about six miles southwest of Napa, California, and about 50 miles west-southwest of Sacramento.

The USGS says the depth of the earthquake was just less than seven miles, and numerous small aftershocks have occurred in the Napa wine country.
