PACIFICA, Calif.—An earthquake rattled the San Francisco Bay area Monday afternoon on the 105th anniversary of the Great 1906 Earthquake.

The quake, with a magnitude of 3.7, hit about two miles southeast of Pacifica, or about 12 miles south of San Francisco at 2:57 p.m. Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey said. A preliminary report from the USGS had initially estimated the quake to have a 3.8 magnitude.

No structures were damaged and nobody was hurt, Pacifica police Capt. Jim Tasa said. Electrical service to about 10,000 homes and businesses in Pacifica was knocked out around 3 p.m., but was restored a little before 4:30 p.m., PG&E spokeswoman Monica Tell said.

Though the outage occurred at nearly the same time as the quake, its cause is still under investigation, Tells said.

3. This is probably a good thing, since it relieves tension on that fault line.

So when we do get hit, it won't be quite as bad. I just wish it was on the Hayward fault, cause that line really needs to pop soon.
