Earthquake of 4.3 magnitude rattles California's Bay Area
The Bay Area of California was shaken by a magnitude 4.3 earthquake overnight, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The temblor struck just before 3 a.m. Monday, Sept. 22, and set off phone alerts, the Geological Survey said. The epicenter was located less than two miles east of Berkeley, and the earthquake was felt in San Francisco and San Jose.
The earthquake struck in the vicinity of the Hayward fault line, which runs through several densely populated areas such as Oakland and Fremont.
The San Francisco Fire Department said on X there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
No tsunami is expected, according to the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center.
Small aftershocks are possible, said the Geological Survey.
Earthquakes of a magnitude between 2.5 to 5.4 typically cause minor or no damage at all, according to Michigan Technological University.
The United States experiences about 63 earthquakes magnitude 5.0 to 5.9 each year, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, about five 6.0 to 6.9 and fewer than one major earthquake, which are magnitude 7.0 or greater.
