"BERKELEY A 2.8 magnitude earthquake jolted the area early Thursday morning, bringing to more than a dozen the number of aftershocks since a 4.3 quake Monday morning, officials said. No injuries or damage were immediately reported in the 5:55 a.m. Thursday quake, which officials with the U.S. Geological Survey said was centered 8.4 kilometers beneath the surface 3 kilometers southeast of Berkeley."
"But it did rattle residents' nerves, considering there have been at least a dozen small quakes and aftershocks since Monday, all centered in the Berkeley area. They have ranged from 1.0 to 3.0 in magnitude, many occurring on Tuesday from early morning to late afternoon. Monday's 4.3 earthquake, which was along the Hayward-Rodgers Creek Fault and woke up thousands about 3 a.m., was the largest in the Bay Area in three years."
A 2.8 magnitude earthquake jolted Berkeley at 5:55 a.m. Thursday, centered 8.4 kilometers beneath the surface and 3 kilometers southeast of the city. No injuries or damage were immediately reported. The tremor raised the count of aftershocks to more than a dozen since a 4.3 magnitude quake struck Monday along the Hayward-Rodgers Creek Fault, which woke thousands about 3 a.m. Aftershocks have ranged from magnitude 1.0 to 3.0, with many occurring Tuesday from early morning through late afternoon. Experts note such sequences are common after a larger event and can continue for days or weeks. The USGS estimates an 11 percent chance of a magnitude 3 or greater quake in the next week.
