A minor 2.7-magnitude earthquake occurred in the northern San Francisco Bay Area early on April 29, with a depth of nearly 6 miles. The quake, perceived by over 90 individuals from surrounding areas, struck near Yountville at 4:41 a.m. Though such low-magnitude quakes are often not damaging, they can be felt by many. Experts recommend safety measures during quakes, emphasizing techniques like drop, cover, and hold on to minimize risk during these incidents, which can lead to serious consequences like fires or landslides despite their lower magnitudes.
If you're in a car: Pull over and stop. Set your parking brake.
