# Magnitude 3.8 quake near San Leandro disrupts BART trains 2026-08-13T20:17:52+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A magnitude 3.8 earthquake struck near San Leandro, California on Thursday morning, jolting commuters and briefly disrupting BART service. The United States Geological Survey initially reported a 4.1 magnitude but later revised it to 3.8. BART held trains in place and then ran them slowly while crews inspected tracks for damage, none of which was found. About 30 minutes later, an aftershock was felt across the Bay Area. USGS scientists are still analysing data from the quake, and the magnitude may be adjusted further. Aftershocks can continue for weeks or months, but they do not follow a predictable schedule. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: aftershock, BART, California, earthquake, San Leandro, USGS Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/magnitude-3-8-quake-near-san-leandro-disrupts-bart-trains/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
