BAY AREA — BART has completed an inspection of all tracks this morning, following a strong earthquake overnight that centered in Berkeley.
The 4.4 magnitude quake awakened residents around the Bay Area who took to social media to report their experience. Just before 4 a.m. BART announced that passengers should "expect major delays with our first trains this morning. Trains will be performing track inspections due to earlier seismic activity."
But the good news is that at 5:35 a.m. BART reported, "All track inspections have been completed," and no delays were reported.
