(SF) – For the second morning in a row, East Bay residents were jolted out of bed by an earthquake. Thursday morning’s quake was mercifully a little later, at 6:11 a.m. The USGS gave it a preliminary magnitude of 3.5. Wednesday morning’s 3.4-magnitude quake hit at 4:42 a.m. Three small aftershocks followed: a 1.9-magnitude at 4:45 a.m., a 2.0 at 4:48 a.m., and a 1.1 at 8:52 a.m.
This morning’s earthquake, like yesterday’s shakers, was centered near Piedmont and the Oakland hills along the Hayward Fault. The USGS pinpointed the epicenter near the intersection State Route 24 and Tunnel Road. This morning’s shaker had a depth of just over 7 miles, exactly the same as the 3.4-magnitude earthquake that hit the area Wednesday. READ MORE
