A recent earthquake with a magnitude of was felt throughout the Kermadec Islands Region of New Zealand. The epicenter of the earthquake was located in San Francisco, according to United States Geological Survey (USGS).

Fortunately, there are currently no reports of any damage, injuries, or other impacts from the earthquake. While the earthquake was felt across the city, its impact was limited due to its low magnitude. Experts say that earthquakes with magnitudes below 3.0 are typically not felt by people and cause little, if any, damage.

That said, the USGS also advises that earthquakes of this magnitude can serve as reminders to be prepared for larger earthquakes that may occur in the future. It is important that residents of the region remain vigilant and take steps to ensure they are ready for any future earthquakes.
