No injuries or substantial damage have been reported, though BART said those taking its means of public transportation Monday could see delays.

“An earthquake occurred within the area serviced by BART. Trains are running at reduced speeds while we complete safety track inspections. Please expect residual delays of up to 20 minutes systemwide.”

Both the Seahawks and Patriots arrived in San Jose on Sunday evening, just hours before the earthquakes hit.
