Magnitude 3.5 Earthquake Strikes Near Larkfield‑Wikiup

USGS preliminary data show shallow shaking across the North Bay with no confirmed damage so far.

Overview

  • The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the quake at 10:33 a.m. Thursday and located the epicenter about two miles east‑southeast of Larkfield‑Wikiup at a depth of roughly 4.6 miles.
  • Crowdsourced 'Did You Feel It?' responses and local reports said weak to light shaking was felt in Santa Rosa, Windsor, Berkeley and parts of San Francisco.
  • Local news organizations reported no confirmed injuries or structural damage in the immediate aftermath of the temblor.
  • Initial USGS parameters are labeled preliminary and some outlets used slightly different epicenter wording, so officials may refine the magnitude, location or depth as more data are processed.
  • The North Bay sits in a seismically active region where shallow, small quakes are often felt over short distances but rarely cause damage, and officials point readers to standard earthquake preparedness resources.
