Parts of Southern California were shaken by two mild earthquakes Wednesday night. Both quakes measured 3.9, and were centered about 2 miles South-Southeast of Devore, California. The first came in at 11:11 PM while the second struck less than five minutes later at 11:15 PM.
Although there have been no reports of injuries or damage, the quakes have been felt all the way the Los Angeles coastline, nearly 80 miles away.
Quakes are not uncommon in this area of the Southland. There have now been five quakes with a magnitude of 3.0 or greater in this general area since the start of the year.
I have created a special page showing the last 20 years of earthquake activity in the immediate Devore area. CLICK HERE to see a list of all quakes (2.5+) between 1987 and 2007.
