  2. What are the exact reports of damages? There have been no injuries recorded thus yet. According to preliminary seismic data, the earthquake should not have caused any serious damage, however many inhabitants in the epicentre area are likely to have felt a little tremor. More than 4,400 reports were submitted to the US Geological Survey’s community reporting portal in just a few hours. The reports came in from all around the Bay Area and the Central Valley to the east. In most cases, the reports stated that the intensity was light or moderate. According to reports on the USGS website, the earthquake was felt all the way from Sacramento to Santa Cruz. As technicians inspected tracks after the quake, Bay Area Rapid Transit announced delays of up to 20 minutes. According to the US Geological Survey’s Paul Laustsen, the quake occurred between two faults: Concord and Pittsburg-Kirby Hills. Whereas its big sisters, the San Andreas and Hayward fissures, get all the attention, these two faults can also cause significant damage. Pittsburg is located on the Pittsburg-Kirby Hills fault, which runs north through town. The Concord Fault runs from the Carquinez Strait to the foothills of Mount Diablo and is 11 miles long.
