Quake data: Unconfirmed quake reported: Close to San Francisco, California, USA, 20 April 2021 06:44 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:

Our surveillance service AllQuakes received reports of an earthquake in or near San Francisco, California, USA at around 6:44 am GMT. Unless at least one national or international seismological agency confirms this, their status remains unconfirmed.
