2 Earthquakes Strike Off Southern California Coast*

Sunday, November 15, 2009

LOS ANGELES � Two moderate earthquakes have struck under the ocean near
the Channel Islands off the Southern California coast.

The U.S. Geological Survey reports a magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck the
sea floor about 14 miles east of San Nicolas Island at 2:45 p.m Sunday.

A magnitude 3.6 quake hit three minutes later in the same spot, 56 miles
west of Santa Catalina Island, in an area where the sea floor is about
2,000 feet below the surface.

A sheriff's dispatcher in Avalon on Santa Catalina Island says he did
not feel the quake and there have been no reports of damage or injury.
