The temblor happened at 9:24 a.m. Saturday at a depth of about 4.3 miles at the Oakland Zoo, the USGS reported.
A series of three earthquakes — registering between a magnitude of 2.7 and 3.0 — struck Saturday morning in the Oakland hills, beneath the Oakland Zoo, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The temblors began at 9:24 a.m. Saturday, with the first one, a magnitude 3.0, occurring at a depth of about 4.3 miles underneath the zoo, nestled in the Oakland hills just outside of San Leandro and just west of Lake Chabot Regional Park, the agency reported. A second quake, with a magnitude of 2.7, happened at 9:43 a.m. at almost the exact same spot. A third, a magnitude 3.0, followed just 15 seconds later, though it was shallower by about a half-mile, the agency said.
