Preliminary magnitude 3.7 earthquake strikes near San Francisco Zoo
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.7 shook San Francisco Bay Area residents awake on Friday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The earthquake struck at 7:02 a.m., just 3 miles northwest of the San Francisco Zoo. The shake had a depth of 5.2 miles and no injuries have been reported.

As of 7:18 a.m., 2,794 people reported feeling the shake using the USGS Did You Feel It? survey.

Light shaking was felt in the majority of San Francisco, down to some of the East Bay and near Concord, Vallejo and Santa Rosa. Weak shaking was felt in Hayward, Fremont and San Jose, according to the report.

San Francisco vibrates after today's shallow 3.7 magnitude

Series of earthquakes near SF Zoo shake Bay Area Friday morning
Friday morning, followed by at least two major aftershocks. The initial quake was centered about 6 miles west-northwest of Daly City and 7 miles west of Noe Valley in San Francisco.

It was felt in the KRON4 newsroom and at least as far across the Bay as Alameda. To the south, it was felt down the Peninsula in Pacifica, and in Cupertino in the South Bay.

A subsequent earthquake shocked San Francisco just two hours after the Friday morning quake. This latest earthquake occurred at 9:39 a.m. According to USGS, the quake was a 2.5-magnitude quake.

Both quakes were centered near the San Francisco Zoo, approximately six miles northwest of Daly City.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie released a statement regarding the earthquake:

“I promised to make the safety of San Franciscans my first priority as mayor, and I am keeping that promise today with this morning’s earthquake. I ordered city government into action immediately this morning, and our first responders have been out across the city ensuring the safety of our residents. We have also been sharing information and giving people the tools to protect themselves and their families in an event like this.”

“I want to assure everyone in San Francisco: We are prepared for these events. As we monitor the impacts of this morning’s event, I am already working with our Police Department, Fire Department, and Department of Emergency Management to ensure we are using best practices to keep our city safe in the event of a natural disaster. And as our hearts are with those across the state and the country dealing with natural disasters right now, we will always make sure San Francisco is ready.”

-SF Mayor Daniel Lurie

A second strong aftershock was felt in San Francisco at around 10:48 a.m. That one registered as 3.0 and was also centered near the SF Zoo.

The San Francisco Zoological Society said the zoo did not sustain any damage after Friday’s earthquakes. In a statement, the group said, “Animal Care Specialists reported no impact to the health and wellness of our animal residents. No structural damage was found after thorough assessments of the grounds and exhibits. The Zoo’s detailed earthquake protocols were executed and it was determined that there was no risk to the safety of animals, staff, and visitors.”

There were no initial reports of damages or injuries as a result of the quake.

There are more ways to measure the strength of a #solarcycle than sunspots... Here, the cosmic ray flux from Oulu NM is comparable to the SSN peaks of Cycles 23 and 21, even if those cycles had more spots. Watch this space! #BattleZone @swmcintosh @LynkerSpace pic.twitter.com/YUYqiqslP0

This earthquake was forecasted by analyst Jesús Ramos to occur in south-central Japan after the M7.1 earthquake in Tibet and due to energy dispersion:

Seismic event analyst Jesús Ramos mentions the possibility of an M6.5 and in the worst case M7.5 event for the areas of Japan (south-central) Fiji, Tonga and Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Mariana Islands and Northern New Zealand. This warning would be in effect until January 17.

However, Volcanodiscovery considers that this M6.8 earthquake was an aftershock.

This quake was likely an aftershock of the 7.1 quake Philippine Sea, 24 km southeast of Miyazaki, Miyazaki, Japan, Aug 8, 2024 04:42 pm (GMT +9), which had occurred 23 weeks earlier. Volcanodiscovery

After the M6.8 earthquake in Japan a cluster of M5+ earthquakes was recorded: Lobuche Nepal (M5.1, M5.1) Abepura Indonesia (M5.1) and Mid-Atlantic Ridge (M5.0) In fact in the last 24 hours 11 M5+ earthquakes have been recorded including the above mentioned mainly in Southeast Asia.

Bonin Islands, Japan region (M5.2) Bantogon, Philippines (M5.4, M5.4) Guayaquil, Ecuador (M5.1) Papua New Guinea (M5.0) Balangonan, Philippines (M5.0) Lospalos, Timor Leste (M5.0) So far 2025 has recorded:
5 earthquakes above M5.5
4 earthquakes M6+
1 earthquake M7.1

(In January 2024 there were two M7+)

M 5.6 - 29 km SW of Bahía Solano, Colombia

M 6.2 - 8 km SE of Coalcomán de Vázquez, Mexico

The M6.2 and M6.8 earthquakes occurred after planetary and lunar alignments involving Mercury, Venus, Uranus.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JANUARY 17_2025

Relatively low seismic activity in recent days, mainly concentrated in Southeast Asia with earthquakes below M5.5 Seismic activity in Ethiopia continues with earthquakes below M4.7 and less frequent than in the first days of the year.

SSGEOS forecast updated January 17, 2025
​

Specific planetary and lunar geometry in the Solar System will probably cause increased seismic activity in the second half of January with the potential of a high 7 or larger earthquake.​

It has been 2 years since the last M7.8 earthquake when commonly 2 or 3 of this magnitude occur in a year and 3.5 years have passed without an M8+ earthquake when commonly 1 earthquake of this magnitude occurs every year. So we are on the verge of a major event happening. SSGEOS considers that we are expecting significant seismic activity in the period January 17-27. The most critical planetary and lunar geometry will occur on January 24 as Mercury and Venus are involved.

There is some interest in what may happen in this region of Africa, especially in Ethiopia, but also in Turkey, Greece and the Middle East, especially Iran


And on the other hand the atmospheric fluctuation detected in the California region and the Cascadia subduction zone and Alaska.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JANUARY 21_2025

SSGEOS forecast was accurate.

updated 18 January 2025, 08:48 UTC
A convergence of critical planetary geometry on 18-19 January can result in stronger seismic activity in the coming days, potentially reaching mid 6 magnitude.

SSGEOS had predicted an 80% probability for M6.0 seismic activity due to planetary geometries involving Mercury and Venus. Also as previously observed, a significant event is preceded by a cluster of M5+ earthquakes.

Mercury and Venus will continue in alignment with Saturn and Neptune in the coming days.​

On the evening of January 21, just after sunset, six planets: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn will align in the sky. Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, will be easily visible to the naked eye. As SSGEOS has forecasted the most critical planetary and lunar geometry will occur on January 24
