 On March 28, 2023, a 3.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Peninsula San Francisco Bay Area, followed by two aftershocks. The quake's epicenter was near San Bruno, and the US Geological Survey reported that it occurred at a depth of about 6 miles. There were no reports of any injuries or significant damage.

The earthquake was felt across the Bay Area, including in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. Many residents reported feeling a brief shaking, but the earthquake did not cause any significant disruption to daily life. The aftershocks, which measured 2.0 and 1.5 on the Richter scale, were also felt in the area.

Peninsula

The San Francisco Bay Area is located along the San Andreas Fault, which is one of the most active seismic zones in the world. As a result, the area experiences earthquakes frequently, ranging in intensity from mild to severe. While this earthquake was relatively minor, it serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for seismic activity.

Overall, while the earthquake and aftershocks may have caused some brief alarm, it appears that the Bay Area has once again weathered a seismic event without any significant damage or harm to residents.
