Bay Area M4.3 and Offshore Jalisco M5.4 Cap Day of Moderate Quakes With No Major Damage

Early-warning alerts prompted precautionary inspections across affected areas.

Overview

  • USGS confirmed a magnitude 4.3 quake near Berkeley early Monday that was widely felt after an initial 4.6 estimate, and the ShakeAlert system activated.
  • Bay Area Rapid Transit slowed trains for track inspections, causing residual delays of up to 20 minutes, as San Francisco officials reported no injuries or damage.
  • Mexico’s seismic service reported a magnitude 5.4 offshore near Jalisco, and the Navy’s tsunami center ruled out a tsunami as authorities reported no major damage.
  • Peru’s geophysical institute logged a magnitude 4.0 near Lomas, Caravelí, and a magnitude 3.6 near Chilca felt in Lima, with no material damage reported.
  • Seismology agencies continued routine monitoring and noted that Mexico’s SASMEX sirens did not activate for several magnitude 4 events because alert thresholds were not met.
