AN EARTHQUAKE has hit California as the state already battles devastating wildfires that have killed 10 people and destroyed over 10,000 homes and other buildings.
The state is now handling two disasters at once after a 3.7 magnitude earthquake rattled San Francisco on Friday morning.
The earthquake was detected about five miles southwest of the Golden Gate Bridge at around 7 am PT.
There have been no reports of damage or injuries, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.
“I ordered city government into action immediately this morning, and our first responders have been out across the city ensuring the safety of our residents.”
Californians are shaken by the natural disaster as about 400 miles down the coast, multiple blazes have displaced tens of thousands of Los Angeles residents.
“A massive fire and an earthquake hitting California in a week’s time?” one X user wrote.
“Enough already! The West Coast doesn’t need San Andreas to start acting up now, thank you very much,” another shared.
“Fires, earthquake what next for California…locusts and frogs?” a third shared.
The apocalyptic wildfires in Los Angeles forced over 180,000 residents to flee as firefighters fight to contain the wind-controlled blazes.
