View Date:2024-12-24 07:20:15
Two minor earthquakes were recorded in different areas of California overnight, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey.
The first earthquake occurred at 12:47 a.m. and was reported around 1.8 miles north of Huntington Park, California, a city in the south-central Los Angeles region. It measured at a 2.6 magnitude.
The second earthquake occurred at 1:06 a.m. and was around 6.2 miles north of Lake Pillsbury, an artificial lake in Northern California about 157 miles northwest of Sacramento. It measured at a 3.0 magnitude.
Damage from the earthquakes was not immediately reported.
Over a dozen shakes were registered in a short time around California last week, data from the USGS said, contained mostly around the cities of Imperial and El Centro.
At what magnitude does damage begin to occur in earthquakes?
According to the USGS, there is not one magnitude above which damage will occur. It depends on other variables, such as the distance from the epicenter, what type of soil you are on and building construction, among others. However, the USGS says damage does not usually occur until the earthquake magnitude reaches somewhere above 4 or 5.
