A magnitude of 3.7 earthquake hit Solano County Thursday morning. The shaker hit the same basic spot of a Wednesday night quake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was also the same basic magnitude.
Kristina Hangartner was opening up Valona Deli in Crockett when the earthquake hit. She describes it as a big jolt and a loud boom.
The deli's sodas started shaking. She's a bit rattled after experiencing two in a row. Last night's earquake sent her ducking under the table for cover. "All I'm thinking... where's my earthquake kit am I ready," she said. She says she was shaking like a leaf, but suffered no damage.
The assistant to the Vallejo city attorney Sue Simon told Bay City News she also felt both quakes.
"It was a small jolt then a big jolt," Simon told BCN. "I was told the large windows in the building flexed out a little."
The USGS received reports from people who said they felt the earthquake from Benicia, Napa, American Canyon and Martinez.
