An earthquake struck the San Francisco early Thursday.
The magnitude 4.5 quake hit 1.9 miles from Berkeley, the United States Geological Survey said.

The magnitude 4.5 earthquake comes a day after several smaller earthquakes shook an area east of Mount St. Helens. The largest quake, a magnitude 3.9, hit east of Spirit Lake just after 12:30 a.m. and was the second strongest to hit the area since 1981.
