An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.3 shook parts of California's Bay Area awake early Monday, with many social media users logging on to say they felt it.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake's epicenter was just over a mile east-southeast of Berkeley and had a shallow depth of 5 miles, which likely contributed to so many people saying they felt it.

The earthquake struck at 2:56 a.m. local time, or 5:56 a.m. EDT. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
