Quake information: Reported (unconfirmed) earthquake: Close to San Francisco, California, USA, 18 April 2021 12:42 GMT
It is assumed that this record was not from an actual earthquake. It could be due to another (unknown) event causing the shock, such as B. Weather and sonic booms. In other cases, officially reported quakes are sometimes removed later.
This can happen when initial automatic calculations return an earthquake, but turn out to be incorrect in subsequent (manual) revision.
The first report is below:
Although our monitoring service initially determined network activity typical of an earthquake, there was no confirmation from a national or international seismological agency. Because of this, it is highly unlikely that it was caused by an earthquake.
