A magnitude 4.1 earthquake shook the San Francisco Bay Area before sunrise on Thursday morning, shook homes and woke many residents.
The quake struck at 5:07 a.m. at a depth of about 12 miles, the United States Geological Survey said. The quake struck northwest of Bay Point with an epicenter 6.2 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, 7.9 miles north of Concord and 21.6 miles northeast of Berkeley.
The tremors were widespread in the Gulf and Sacramento area, according to the USGS rocking map. More than 3,600 people said they felt it at the USGS at 6 p.m.
Many went on Twitter to say they felt the quake.
“I just experienced the second time since I moved to California when I had to sleep, but I woke up for some reason a few minutes before #earthquake,” a Twitter user wrote.
BART said it was running trains at reduced speeds while the rails were being inspected. The transit agency said riders should expect residual delays of up to 20 minutes throughout the system.
More information about this earthquake is available on the USGS event page.
