BART says it finished inspecting its tracks for damage, and for passengers to expect residual delays of up to 20 minutes systemwide.

But if you did not receive a ShakeAlert notification on your phone, there is a reason for that.

ABC7 spoke with Robert-Michael de Groot, Ph.D. Coordinator for Communication, Education, Outreach, and Technical Engagement at ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning System.

He said the Shake Alert Activation Warning System was activated, but was not delivered to people’s cellphones since the quake was below the 4.5 threshold.
