Shake, Rattle, or Melt
At 8:49 AM CDT the US Geological Survey recorded a magnitude 4.0 earthquake 1km North of Piedmont, California. This quake was at a depth of 3.3 miles on the Hayward Fault in the San Francisco Bay area.
This somewhat shallow quake would have felt worse than would be expected from the magnitude. Given the absurdly hot temperatures that are occurring in the area, people will be conflicted about staying outside from worry about the shaking, or finding whatever air conditioned spaces are available.
