The coastline of northern California has had another cluster of earthquakes, similar to an event 10 days ago.
However, the quakes were smaller this time, with the largest a 5.6 magnitude earthquake which happened around 11:20 pm last night [Saturday night]. So far 10 quakes have been recorded in the region, according to the US Geological Survey, but no damages have been reported, and there is no risk of a tsunami.
The previous event was a magnitude 7 quake, which did minor damage in Humboldt County and was followed by at least 65 smaller quakes.
