Series of small Southern California earthquakes occur off Catalina
A magnitude 3.6 earthquake struck in the waters off Catalina Island on Sunday evening on the heels of two smaller quakes in the same area.
The series of shakers began at 4:11 p.m. with a magnitude 3.1 earthquake 27 miles from Avalon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Minutes later, a magnitude 2.5 quake was recorded. The magnitude 3.6 quake then occurred at 5:32 p.m., also 27 miles from Avalon, the USGS said.
The first rattler occurred at a depth of 3.4 miles, and the largest quake was shallower, at 0.1 miles.
