What’s with all the earthquakes? California’s latest rattles Bay Area from beneath the ocean [The Sacramento Bee]
Dec. 31 Maybe 2020 is going out with a bang.
The Bay Area was shook by a magnitude 3.6 earthquake early Thursday, the third quake of at least a 3 magnitude in four days in Northern California.
A leading California seismologist said the quakes are not particularly alarming.
“This is just normal activity,” said Lind Gee, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park. “That’s good to hear, right?”
The Bay Area quake, recorded 9 miles below the ocean off the shore of Muir Beach north of San Francisco, followed two earlier quakes this week.
