Yep, that’s what woke you up just now. It hit at 5:33. Below is a screenshot of the details from the USGS. At first it felt like it was going to be bigger, and it woke up everyone here.

According to SFPD, as of 5:45 a.m. the city’s Department of Emergency Management had no reports of injuries or damage.

It might be good to keep a copy of our series on disaster preparedness around.

Heather Smith went to all of the Neighborhood Emergency Response Training (NERT) classes and wrote up reports.

Stay safe, lc

You can see that the latest information from the USGS puts the earthquake at 4.0, while the earlier, unreviewed data shows it at 4.3.

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

As founder/executive editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
