Two quakes, 4.1 and 2.1, rattle Central Coast
A magnitude 4.1 earthquake rattled California’s Central Coast on Monday night, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, authorities said.
The temblor struck at 8:06 p.m. and was centered about four miles west of Paso Robles and about 10 miles southeast of Lake Nacimiento, according to a preliminary report by the U.S. Geological Survey. It was followed by a magnitude 2.1 aftershock three minutes later.
San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jason Nefores said his department had not received any calls regarding injuries or damage.
The quakes were near the location of the magnitude 6.5 earthquake that killed two women and caused at least $200 million in damage countywide in December 2003.
