"Three minor earthquakes were detected less than 30 miles south of San Jose Friday morning, striking within three minutes of each other between 10.40 and 10.43am ET. The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the first tremor registered as a magnitude 3.4 earthquake, and was then followed moments later by magnitude 2.6 and 2.5 quakes. No injuries or damage to local property has been reported at this time."
"Quakes between 2.5 and 5.4 in magnitude are often felt for several miles in all directions but typically cause only minor damage, such as knocking objects off shelves. However, Friday's swarm struck just a day after at least 13 tremors, ranging from magnitude 1.0 to 3.7, were reported near The Geysers geothermal field in Northern California. Moreover, another swarm of three more powerful earthquakes struck in nearly the exact same location south of San Jose on Wednesday."
Central California experienced an earthquake swarm for a third consecutive day, centered less than 30 miles south of San Jose. Three quakes struck within three minutes Friday morning, registering magnitudes of 3.4, 2.6 and 2.5, with no reported injuries or property damage. Quakes in the 2.5–5.4 range are typically felt for miles but usually only cause minor damage. The Friday activity followed at least 13 tremors near The Geysers geothermal field and another three-quake swarm at nearly the same San Jose location earlier in the week. The activity is occurring along fault lines that connect to the San Andreas Fault.
