BANDON, Ore., Oct. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Geological Survey Wednesday said
parts of California and Oregon were hit by 3.3 and 4.0-magnitude
earthquakes respectively.
The agency said an early morning quake struck nearly 226 miles
west-northwest of Bandon, Ore., with an epicenter 6.2 miles deep in the
Pacific Ocean.
The earthquake, which did not result in any reported injuries or
property damage, did not prompt a tsunami warning, The (Portland)
Oregonian said.
Meanwhile, a 3.3-magnitude earthquake struck the San Bernardino
Mountains between Big Bear Lake and Yucaipa, Calif., later Wednesday
morning.
The Riverside (Calif.) Press-Enterprise said the quake's epicenter was
five miles deep and occurred nearly five miles away from Mount San
Gorgonio in the California mountain range.
San Bernardino County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Sue Hood said
no property damage reports followed the minor earthquake. No injuries
were reported in connection with the tremor.
