The U.S. Geological Survey said the temblor struck at 9:59 a.m. with an epicenter just north of Watsonville and west of Mt. Madonna County Park.Originally, the USGS said it was a 3.9 quake, but it has since been downgraded to a 3.6.
It was widely felt in southern San Jose, Watsonville, Salinas and Monterey and was strong enough for Calfire stations to pull their vehicles out of their garages.
