The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.6 quake in the United States near Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California, only 6 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early afternoon on Tuesday, July 7th, 2026, at 2:30 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 3.9 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Angwin (pop. 3,100) located 0 miles from the epicenter.Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Santa Rosa (pop. 178,100) located 17 miles from the epicenter, Agua Caliente (pop. 27,100) 18 miles away, Windsor (pop. 27,500) 20 miles away, Napa (pop. 80,400) 21 miles away, Rohnert Park (pop. 42,400) 21 miles away, Petaluma (pop. 60,400) 26 miles away, Vacaville (pop. 96,800) 29 miles away, and Fairfield (pop. 113,000) 32 miles away. In Sacramento (pop. 524,900, 52 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.Earthquake data: Date & time: Jul 7, 2026 09:30 pm (Universal Time) local time (7 Jul 2026 21:30 GMT)Magnitude: 3.6Depth: 6.28 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 38.58°N / 122.45°W (Napa County, California, United States)Primary data source: USGS
