"A cluster of offshore earthquakes, including two magnitude 5.0 or stronger tremors, struck in the Pacific Ocean off the Northern California coast early Wednesday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The string of moderate earthquakes occurred within hours along a seismically active stretch near the California–Oregon border, raising concern in coastal communities already on alert following a stronger magnitude 5.7 quake off the Oregon coast earlier in the morning.
USGS data shows only a few reports that residents in the area felt the earthquakes, and no damage has been reported." msn
