Another Morning Earthquake Shakes Bay Area

A 3.2-magnitude earthquake, the most recent in a swarm of more than 237 tiny temblors around the East Bay over the last two weeks, was recorded Friday morning near San Ramon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake was reportedly felt as far away as Pleasanton, Walnut Creek and Clayton.

“We’ve had swarms like this (in this area) in the past and none of them have led to a large, damaging earthquake,” Brad Aagaard, a research geophysicist at USGS, said in a previous article.

Yet that doesn’t mean the torrent of temblors is near its end.

“Some of the larger ones have lasted 30-40 days, so we would expect this swarm will likely continue a couple more weeks,” Aagaard said.

October 17 marked the anniversary of the devastating Loma Prieta earthquake, which interrupted Game 3 of the “Bay Bridge” World Series in 1989.

Californians prepared for future earthquakes during the annual the Great California ShakeOut drill of 2015 earlier this month.

On Aug. 24, 2014, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake in the North Bay killed one person, injured more than 200 others and caused millions of dollars in damage. A 4.0-magnitude quake that struck the Hayward fault in the East Bay in August rattled nerves, and elicited some unique responses that were captured on camera.
