USGS Reports Small Quake In Southern California

CALEXICO, Calif. (AP) ― A small earthquake has struck Southern California near the Mexico border but no damage or injuries are reported.

The U.S. Geological Survey says a quake with a magnitude of 3.6 hit at 2:56 a.m. Tuesday. It was centered nine miles west of Calexico.

That's the same area where a 3.8-magnitude quake hit Monday night and a 4.0 temblor struck Monday morning.

There also have been dozens of smaller quakes both before and after those temblors.

None have caused any reported damage or injuries.
