3.0-magnitude quake reported near The Geysers

THE GEYSERS, Calif. – A moderate-sized earthquake was reported near The Geysers on Monday afternoon.


The quake, measured at 3.0 in magnitude, was reported at 12:34 p.m., according to the US Geological Survey.


It was reported as being a “poorly constrained” shallow earthquake, listed at a depth of zero miles, the survey reported.


The US Geological Survey's data showed that the quake was centered two miles north of The Geysers geothermal steamfield, 15 miles southwest of Clearlake and 25 miles north of Santa Rosa.


It was immediately followed by two smaller quakes, measuring 1.3 and 1.0 in magnitude, respectively, in close proximity, the US Geological Survey reported.


The only shake reports received on the quake came from Eureka, 247 miles away, and Mammoth Lakes, 365 miles distant, according to survey records.


The last time the US Geological Survey reported a quake measuring 3.0 or above near The Geysers was on Aug. 15, as Lake County News has reported.
