Memorial Day Quake Shakes San Francisco Bay Area

An earthquake shook the San Francisco Bay Area early on Memorial Day, causing light tremors but no reported damage or injuries. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed that the magnitude 3.6 quake struck around 1:18 a.m. local time. Its epicenter was located about six miles northeast of Inverness, California, and it occurred at a depth of approximately 2.5 miles.

Residents in nearby communities reported feeling the shaking, but the earthquake was not strong enough to cause any significant issues. As is often the case with earthquakes in California, this event serves as a reminder of the region’s seismic activity. While it was a mild quake, it can still be unsettling for those who felt it.

Authorities continue to monitor the situation, and updates will be provided if any new information arises. For now, the community can breathe a sigh of relief that there were no injuries or damage reported from this early morning shake.
