Minor Earthquake Shakes San Francisco Bay Area

A fairly small earthquake, measuring a magnitude of 3.9, rattled the San Francisco Bay Area on Monday evening, as per the United States Geological Survey. Occurring at 7:46 p.m. Pacific Time, the quake’s epicenter was located roughly 3 miles northwest of Dublin, California, according to agency data.

Initially, the U.S.G.S. recorded the tremor’s magnitude as 4. However, as seismologists continue to analyze the gathered information, there may be updates to the declared magnitude. Further insights gained might also lead U.S.G.S. scientists to revise the shake-severity map to reflect a more accurate depiction of the event.
