THIS STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED REGARDING THE MAGNITUDE OF BOTH QUAKES.
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Two moderate-sized quakes rattled areas of Lake County on Saturday night.
Preliminary reports from the U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquakes were measured at 3.5 and 3.2 in magnitude, but later were adjusted to 3.0 and 2.9, respectively, after they were reviewed by seismologists.
The 3.0-magnitude quake occurred at 6:28 p.m. Saturday near The Geysers geothermal steamfield.
The earthquake was recorded at a depth of nine-tenths of a mile, and was centered one mile northeast of The Geysers, four miles west southwest of Cobb and six miles west northwest of Anderson Springs, according to the preliminary report.
The survey received 13 shake reports from seven zip codes by midnight, some coming from as far away as Los Gatos.
The 2.9-magnitude quake reported at 11:17 p.m. was centered three miles west of Clearlake, four miles south southwest of Clearlake Oaks and six miles northwest of Lower Lake at a depth of 2.4 miles, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
Approximately 184 shake reports from around Lake County and extending south to San Jose were received by midnight.
Saturday night's quake was the third well-reported quake to strike near Clearlake and Clearlake Oaks this year.
A 3.8-magnitude quake was reported in the area Jan. 24 and a 3.1-magnitude was reported March 13, as Lake County News has reported.
