A light, 4.3-magnitude earthquake struck in the San Francisco Bay Area on Monday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 2:56 a.m. Pacific time about 1 mile southeast of Berkeley, Calif., data from the agency shows.
U.S.G.S. data earlier reported that the magnitude was 4.6.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
