A minor earthquake measuring 3.2 in magnitude rattled a California community late Wednesday evening.
The earthquake was recorded at approximately 9:18 p.m. near Gustine, a city in Stanislaus County in California’s Central Valley.
The shallow tremor originated about 0.7 kilometers below the surface, with its epicenter just northwest of San Luis Reservoir. Six people reported feeling the quake to the U.S. Geological Survey, including one person located as far away as San Francisco.
Several Facebook users said they barely noticed the earthquake, although some reported that their pets appeared to react. One commenter said the shaking was virtually undetectable.
“I did not feel a single thing,” one person wrote.
Another user, posting from near Angels Camp, said their dog had been unusually restless and barking at what appeared to be nothing since about 9:45 p.m.

Others said they did notice the movement, but characterized the earthquake as mild.
“I felt the quake. It was very gentle,” one commenter said.
Another compared the experience with the much stronger Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, writing, “Yeah, I was smack in the middle of Loma Prieta 10-17-89! That was an earthquake.”
Gustine is a small agricultural community roughly 30 miles south of Modesto.
Two additional earthquakes were reported elsewhere in California on Wednesday: a magnitude 3.3 event near Petrolia and a magnitude 3.1 quake near Likely.
