MORGAN HILL, Calf. – A moderate earthquake rattled parts of Silicon Valley Monday, and there were no immediate reports of damage.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the temblor had a preliminary magnitude of 4.3, and struck around 10:40 a.m. It was centered 11 miles north of the city of Morgan Hill, or about 16 miles south east of San Jose.

A Morgan Hill police dispatcher said there were no reports of injuries or damage.

Bay Area Rapid Transit and San Francisco municipal transit suspended service for several minutes to do a routine after-earthquake check for damages.

This archive contains all the stories that appeared on the Tucson Citizen's website from mid-2006 to June 1, 2009.

In 2010, a power surge fried a server that contained all of videos linked to dozens of stories in this archive. Also, a server that contained all of the databases for dozens of stories was accidentally erased, so all of those links are broken as well. However, all of the text and photos that accompanied some stories have been preserved.
