FOXNews.com -SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.0 has been recorded in Northern California.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake hit at 3:49 p.m. Sunday about 25 miles north of Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa is about 50 miles north of San Francisco.

The area frequently experiences small earthquakes, and there was no indication the earthquake was an aftershock from the larger quake that struck in Baja California, Mexico, on Sunday afternoon.

A dispatcher with the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department in Santa Rosa said he didn't feel the quake and that the department had not received any calls for service after the quake."
