A series of earthquakes yesterday rumbled through the Bay Area and northern California.
According to the US Geological Survey, one of the most powerful earthquakes – measuring 2.9 on the Richter scale – struck yesterday afternoon in the Oakland hills.
SFGate reported the quake struck yesterday afternoon just before 3:00 along the Hayward Fault near Montclair.
Several other quakes registered earlier Monday morning around San Ramon, along the Calaveras Fault Zone. One of the quakes measured 3.0 and another later quake measured about 3.7. No damage or injuries were reported.
The swarm of quakes rattling the Bay Area follow about 90 tremors which struck last month in the Alamo, Gilroy and San Ramon areas.
