An earthquake has shaken California‘s Bay Area Thursday morning, rattling neighborhoods near one of the most dangerous fault lines on the West Coast.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected a 3.2 magnitude earthquake less than 25 miles from San Francisco at 10.27am ET, a city with more than 800,000 residents.
Over 300 people near the quake’s epicenter in the town of Danville reported feeling the seismic event to USGS.
The quake was centered just 12 miles from Concord, 19 miles from Oakland, and 31 miles from San Jose, which are three of the most populated communities in the Bay Area, home to more than 1.5 million people.
According to the initial seismic reports, the shaking was felt throughout the coastal region, reaching as far away as Oakland, Berkeley, and even making it across the San Francisco Bay.
This is a breaking story. More details to follow.
