A small earthquake gave East Bay residents a quick jolt early Sunday morning. The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 2.6, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake struck at approximately 5:05 a.m., and its epicenter was just north of the Clark Kerr Campus in Berkeley. The Hayward fault runs under the East Bay hills and through parts of the UC Berkeley campus, including directly under Memorial Stadium. No damage was reported as a result of the seismic activity.

A cluster of four earthquakes hit 72 miles north of San Francisco, which occurred near the San Andreas Fault, which spans 800 miles from Cape Mendocino in the north to the Salton Sea in the south.

An 81-year-old person died after being rescued from rubble by emergency teams following a magnitude 6.1 earthquake in northwestern Turkiye's Balikesir province.

The 8.8 magnitude quake, followed by multiple aftershocks as strong as magnitude 6, appears to have reawakened long-dormant giants. Klyuchevskaya Sopka erupted a day after the seismic event for the first time in 600 years.

A magnitude 3.5 earthquake was reported Tuesday at 4:54 p.m. in Rialto. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 3.6 miles.

The Kamchatka Peninsula experienced a magnitude 8.8 earthquake, resulting in significant land movement of up to 6.5ft southeast, similar to Japan's 2011 Tohoku earthquake.

Susan Hough, a seismologist with USGS, reported that the quakes occurred in an area that experiences frequent earthquakes, where the San Jacinto Fault intersects with the San Andreas Fault.

"As soon as we heard the tsunami warnings, we contacted local law enforcement and FEMA to ensure the road was opened. Any reports otherwise are false."

The waves followed, reaching Hawaii, California, and parts of Washington. It was one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded and though early reports show little damage, the event serves as a powerful reminder: Tsunami risk isn't just theoretical.

Two members of the Trump administration are reportedly coming to the Bay Area to visit Alcatraz on Thursday, following through, at least for show, on Trump's absurd plan to reopen it.

A 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Alaska, prompting a tsunami alert for thousands of residents. The quake was detected by USGS at 4:30 pm ET.

"We heard some noises one after the other and then a loud bang and a great cloud of dust appeared. It was a real scare for us. There were airport workers having their first coffee of the day but luckily no one was injured."

A preliminary 3.4-magnitude earthquake struck this morning at 8:06 am, centered under the Pacific about 50 miles southwest of Eureka. This follows a 3.0M quake on the San Andreas Fault earlier this week, centered near Cupertino.

"We looked at the sky confused at first. Smoke billowed from the mountains. The wind picked up and the flames kept rising," Yilmaz recounted, describing the same panic, the same suffocating fear.
