Second earthquake in 3 days shakes San Francisco Bay Area

FOX Weather explains why scientists favor the newer Moment Magnitude scale to measure the power of an earthquake over the Richter scale developed in the 1930s.

CONCORD, Calif. – The San Francisco Bay Area was met with another earthquake on Sunday morning, the second quake to affect the area since Friday.

The magnitude 3.7 earthquake’s epicenter was recorded near Concord, California, but a U.S. Geological Survey report indicates light shaking was felt all throughout the Bay Area.

The earthquake happened at about 8:50 a.m. PT. The USGS said the earthquake had a depth of nearly 9 miles.

No injuries or damage were reported from either earthquake.

SAN FRANCISCO — BART reported major delays in downtown San Francisco Saturday night after a fatality on the tracks.

Firefighters said they were called about 8:45 p.m. to what BART described as a major medical emergency between the Civic Center and Powell Street stations.

There was a 20-minute delay on the San Francisco line in the SFO, Millbrae and East Bay directions, BART said on social media.

“A person was on the tracks for an unknown reason when a train approached and a collision appears to have occurred,” BART spokesman Chris Filippi said in a recorded statement. “The person has been killed.”

Red Line service was temporarily canceled because of the incident.

BART’s Yellow Line continued to run to all San Francisco stations from Antioch to SFO/Millbrae, Filippi said.

Blue Line trains were running from Dublin/Pleasanton to West Oakland, he said.

Why Mission Bay is recovering faster than anywhere else in SF

The positive momentum has had a knock-on effect on the previously sluggish retail leasing market, broker Alex Sagues of CBRE said. Since taking over Mission Bay’s listings during the pandemic, his team has brought in a bevy of well-known San Francisco brands, including Che Fico, Burma Love, and Harmonic Brewing.

Señor Sisig, Fikscue Craft BBQ, Splash Sports Bar, and Taco Primo (a new concept from the owners of The Snug) will join them, rounding out the offerings at Thrive City ahead of next month’s NBA All-Star weekend.

“There’s just not any other neighborhood in the city with this kind of mix of live, work, play,” Sagues said, adding that two national restaurant brands just signed leases at Mission Rock, which already has Flour + Water Pizzeria and Arsicault Bakery.

Part of what has turned Mission Bay into a destination has been the construction of two of San Francisco’s newest public parks. The five-acre China Basin Park that’s part of Mission Rock and the 5.5-acre Bayfront Park opened last year, financed by a mix of public dollars and philanthropy.
