A 6.0 magnitude earthquake rolled through California's northern Bay Area early Sunday, damaging some buildings, igniting fires, knocking out power to tens of thousands and sending residents running out of their homes in the darkness.

While California is no stranger to earthquakes, this 6.1-magnitude event was the largest to hit the region since the 1989 Loma Prieta quake that had a magnitude of 6.9.

Check out the videos below of raw footage of the quake and its damage.
