Shortly thereafter, the earth near the California city of Stockton also shook. This tremor was registered with a magnitude of 4.8. The tremors were easily felt at a great distance, for example in the San Francisco area.
In the village of Walker, near the center of the quake, the tremor was quite violent, as an eyewitness reported to the KGO broadcaster. There were initially no reports of major damage. The region is only sparsely populated. (SDA)
