The US Geological Survey said a 3.6-magnitude earthquake shook the Gulf region on Saturday morning.

The USGS detected the earthquake on the San Andreas Fault at 9:59 a.m., with its epicenter about two and a half miles northeast of Coralitos, an unincorporated community in Santa Cruz County, north of Watsonville. Residents throughout the area reported feeling the quake, but it shook strongly in the South Bay.

After assessing the damage, Cal Fire CZU, which serves the San Mateo and Santa Cruz areas, reported no damage until about 11 a.m., and Cal Fire SCU, which serves Santa Clara County, reported no damage late in the morning.

The earthquake’s origin was just over eight miles underground, according to the US Geological Survey, making it a shallow earthquake by the agency’s definition. Shallow earthquakes tend to feel stronger and cause more damage, according to the agency.

A smaller earthquake shook the East Bay a little over a week ago. And almost 65 years ago, the “forgotten” earthquake of 1957 shook the city of Daly and the northern peninsula – one of the most powerful in the Bay Area between 1906 and 1989.
