California Rocked by Multiple Earthquakes in Less Than 12 Hours

California experienced a series of earthquakes in less than 12 hours, rattling residents and raising concerns about seismic activity in the region. The quakes, ranging in magnitude, struck various parts of the state, causing minor damage and prompting warnings from experts about potential aftershocks.

Residents reported feeling the shaking in cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego.

Emergency services were on high alert as reports of minor structural damage and power outages surfaced. While no major injuries were reported, authorities advised residents to remain prepared for possible aftershocks. "Even moderate quakes can weaken structures and trigger additional seismic activity," a USGS spokesperson warned.

Seismologists have closely monitored the situation and emphasized that California’s position along the Pacific Ring of Fire makes it highly susceptible to earthquakes. They urged residents to review their emergency preparedness plans, secure heavy furniture, and have an emergency kit ready.

Social media was flooded with reactions from Californians who experienced the tremors. Some shared videos of shaking furniture, while others expressed concerns about a larger earthquake occurring soon.

Officials reminded the public to stay informed through official channels and follow safety guidelines during and after an earthquake. "Preparedness is key in earthquake-prone areas," said a spokesperson for California’s Office of Emergency Services.
