Northridge Aftershock, 2 Other Quakes Felt
Three minor earthquakes struck Southern California on Sunday afternoon, including one near the San Fernando Valley. No damage was reported.
A magnitude 2.6 aftershock of the 1994 Northridge earthquake hit about 2:24 p.m. two miles northeast of the Valley, according to seismologist Bob Dollar at the U.S. Geological Survey at Caltech in Pasadena.
“We’ve had no reports of any problems whatsoever,” said Don Cox, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.
Two other, unrelated temblors hit the Big Bear area. The first, a magnitude 3.5 aftershock of the 1992 Landers earthquake, shook the area three miles north of the resort area at 3:58 p.m. A second quake measuring 2.1 hit the same spot at 4:20 p.m., according to Dollar.
There were no reports of damage from the quakes, according to a dispatcher with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
