Quake information: Reported (unconfirmed) earthquake: 1.2 mi southeast of San Francisco, California, USA, 25 April 2021 21:37 GMT
This record is considered not to be from an actual earthquake. It could be due to some other (unkown) event causing shaking, such as explosions, sonic booms, weather or other human or natural causes. Even officially reported earthquakes are sometimes removed again later when seismic signals first processed automatically are later re-interpreted manually not to be from real quakes.
This can happen if initial automatic calculations return an earthquake, but turn out to be wrong during subsequent (manual) revision.
The initial report is below:
Although our monitoring service initially detected network activity typical for an earthquake, there was no confirmation by any national or international seismological agency. For this reason, it is highly unlikely, that it was caused by an earthquake.
25 Apr 22:44 UTC: First to report: VolcanoDiscovery after 1 hour and 6 minutes.
