A minor, 3.6-magnitude earthquake struck in the San Francisco Bay Area on Thursday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 4:21 a.m. Pacific time about 2 miles southeast of The Geysers, Calif., data from the agency shows.
Another earthquake of a similar magnitude struck seconds later less than a mile away. Smaller aftershocks followed.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
