“This sort of earthquake is your garden variety, run-of-the-mill earthquake,” says Robert de Groot of the USGS.
An earthquake centered in the upper Peninsula, close to the San Francisco International Airport , shook Bay Area residents on Friday night.
“This sort of earthquake is your garden variety, run-of-the-mill earthquake,” says de Groot, adding that “magnitude 3 and magnitude 4 are very common” in California. Friday’s quake quickly follows another sizable seismic event in Northern California, a magnitude 4.2 quake that struck the Sacramento County town of Isleton on Oct. 18 and caused shaking throughout the Delta area and well beyond.
