(CNN) -- A moderate earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.6 struck Northern California Tuesday night, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake's epicenter was about five miles north-northeast of Alum Rock, California, and nine miles northeast of San Jose's City Hall, the USGS said. It hit at 8:04 p.m. (11:04 p.m. ET).
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
Rafael Abreu of the USGS said that a 5.6 quake was considered moderate but could provide "a pretty strong jolt."
The earthquake's epicenter was 5.7 miles below the Earth's surface, which Abreu called relatively shallow.
Earthquakes centered closer to the surface produce stronger shaking and generally can cause more damage than those farther underground.
Alum Rock is 50 miles southeast of San Francisco.

D, your first quake? It was pretty large but also pretty mellow, our place shook pretty good (the quake was about 25 miles south).
