A magnitude 3.7 earthquake with its center at San Francisco's international airport rattled the Bay Area Friday evening but there were no reports of damage. The U.S. Geological Survey reported the minor quake struck about 7 miles beneath the San Francisco International Airport at around 7 p.m.
The airport is between the San Andreas and Hayward faults, making it an active region for earthquakes, Robert de Groot, a ShakeAlert operations team lead with the Geological Survey told the San Francisco Chronicle. He called it a 'garden variety earthquake,” the Chronicle reported. The earthquake initially registered at 3.9 but was soon downgraded.
