BERKELEY, Calif. — Two earthquakes shook Northern California
overnight, including a 3.6-magnitude temblor in the San Francisco
area that awakened people with a jolt.
The U.S. Geological Survey says it hit around 5:36 a.m. Thursday
and was centered about a mile east of Berkeley.
Dozens of people throughout the Bay area reported feeling the
temblor on the USGS’s website, but a police and fire dispatcher
said she had not received any reports of damage or injuries.
At 11:37 p.m. Wednesday, a 4.8-magnitude quake struck in the
Sierra Nevada about 90 miles northeast of Sacramento.
A Nevada County sheriff’s dispatcher in Truckee says it was a
rolling quake and no damages or injuries were reported.
The Berkeley area was struck by a series of earthquakes last
week.
