THE GEYSERS – A small temblor hit The Geysers early Sunday afternoon.

The quake, measuring 3.0 on the Richter scale, occurred at 1:25 p.m., according to the US Geological Survey.

The epicenter was located four miles northwest of The Geysers and eight miles west of Cobb, the US Geological Survey reported. The quake took place at a depth of 1.6 miles.
