A 4.3 magnitude earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay Area early Monday morning, with the epicenter located near Berkeley. Residents across the region were jolted awake by the tremors, which caused minor damage but no significant injuries. Seismologists have noted that the Hayward Fault, which lies in the vicinity, continues to build stress, although the likelihood of a major quake occurring in the near future remains low. As questions arise about the potential for this tremor to be a foreshock for a larger earthquake, many locals reported feeling a sharp shake and have expressed heightened concern about seismic activity in the area.
