Powerful 4.5-magnitude Earthquake Rattles California's Bay Area Today

Trevor Nace , Contributor
 

Residents of the bay area of California were shaken awake today as a result of a strong 4.5-magnitude earthquake. The earthquake was centered below Berkeley, California and was a result of movement along the Hayward fault, according to the USGS.

The earthquake began at 2:39 a.m. local time, located directly over the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, which woke many residents of Berkeley and nearby cities. Residents across the San Francisco Bay area, as far south as San Jose, and as far north as Santa Rosa said they felt shaking. At this time, there are no significant reports of personal injury or structural damage and no threat of a tsunami.

That's just a pleasant ride no big deal, unless you're from another state.

We had one of that magnitude when I lived in FTW

Without FEMA we couldn't have rebuilt or lives from the colossal damage
