California was hit by an earthquake Friday as the part of the state battles deadly wildfires.
A 3.7 magnitude quake was detected near the San Francisco Bay area around 7:02am PT, with its epicenter about five miles southwest of the Golden Gate Bridge and two miles west of the Great Highway.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) shows more than 5,000 people reported feeling the shake in the area - and the number is growing.
The area sits on the San Andreas Fault line, which runs through from Cape Mendocino in the north to the Salton Sea in the south.
The earthquake also hit 350 miles away from the Los Angeles area that has devastated by wildfires that have killed at least 10 and forced 180,000 from their homes.
This is a developing story... More updates to come.
