A small quake gave the San Francisco Bay Area a shaky start to Friday morning.
The 3.7-magnitude earthquake hit at 7:02 a.m., with its epicenter just five miles southwest of the Golden Gate Bridge and two miles west of the Great Highway, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

People from Santa Rosa to Santa Cruz—and even as far east as Sacramento—reported feeling light tremors, though no damage or injuries have been reported.
This quake originated on the infamous San Andreas Fault, the tectonic troublemaker responsible for California’s biggest shakes.
For context, the last major quake along this fault was the 6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989, which rocked the Santa Cruz Mountains and left its mark on the Bay Area.
Going further back, the devastating 7.9-magnitude San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, with its epicenter just two miles offshore, still looms large in local history.
