Map: 3.2 earthquake in East Oakland rattles Bay Area
A magnitude 3.2 earthquake was recorded Sunday afternoon in East Oakland, about a mile from the Oakland Zoo, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake, at 4:01 p.m., was centered near Interstate 580 and Lake Chabot Road, along the Hayward Fault, and fairly shallow at a depth of 2.92 miles west of the 2900 block of Middleton Street.
Responses to the USGS Did You Feel It website indicated it was felt from Richmond to Union City, as well as on the central Peninsula.
It was the largest quake in the Bay Area since a pair — 3.9 and 3.2 — on Nov. 17 near San Ramon,
There were no reports of injuries, damage or other disruptions in either quake. BART trains system-wide were briefly delayed for 10 minutes as part of regular quake-based precautions.
An earthquake had been felt within the area serviced by BART. Trains are running at reduced speeds while we complete track inspections. Please expect residual delays of 10-15 systemwide.

BART is recovering from an earlier problem. There is a 10-minute delay system wide due to an earlier seismic event felt near San Leandro.
