“An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 woke up a number of people with a sharp jolt in the San Francisco Bay Area on Monday (September 22, 2025),” according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

“The earthquake was just east-southeast of Berkeley,” the survey said. It happened shortly before 3 a.m. PDT. People posted online that they felt their homes shake.

“Our calls are coming in from San Francisco and the East Bay and all over,” KTVU-TV anchor Dave Clark said in a video from the newsroom. “Things were shaking in our newsroom. … It caught everyone off guard.” It wasn’t immediately known if there were any injuries or significant damage.
