AROMAS, CA – A magnitude 3.5 earthquake struck California near the coast, with its epicenter just 2.7 miles from the town of Aromas.
The tremors began around 3:45 a.m. PT according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Aftershocks also struck the vicinity, a 1.4 earthquake at 4:02 a.m. and a 2.3 earthquake at 4:23 a.m.
The area southwest of Gilroy has experienced several earthquakes in the past few weeks, but none were stronger than this latest one.
The earthquake originated from the epicenter and could be felt in Santa Cruz and even north of San Francisco.
The USGS has received reports that the earthquake was felt as far east as Los Banos. Most people who reported shaking said the tremors were weak, with many having responses from Watsonville and Gilroy.
