An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 rocked the San Francisco Bay Area early on Monday, waking up many people.
The earthquake was just east-south-east of Berkeley, the United States Geological survey said, and more than 22,000 people said they felt it.
Residents were jolted awake just before 3am. The earthquake was strong and long, causing loud noises and objects falling from shelves. Residents could be heard shouting. Many people reported lying awake waiting for aftershocks.
Online, too, residents reported feeling their homes shake. Bay Area Rapid Transit (Bart) posted on X that trains were running at reduced speeds as it completed safety track inspections. It told commuters to expect delays of up to 20 minutes systemwide.
