Two minor quakes shake Imperial Valley Friday morning

Two minor earthquakes hit the area where the April 4 earthquake started this morning.

The first, a 3.1 magnitude quake at 4:52 a.m., was centered 40 miles south-southeast of Mexicali, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Web site. It was about 7 miles below the surface, making it poorly constrained.

The second minor quake hit later in the morning at about 9:05 a.m., according to the Web site. The 3.2 magnitude earthquake was less than a mile below the surface near the same location.

No immediate damage reports were available.

I agree if it's not an obviouse earthquake that people must have felt, I think that their shouldn't be reports on it unless someone knows when one is going to hit, which I doubt cause noone really knows but GOD... So please stop talking about it... it makes no sense, what is the purpose????

i agree, im petrified of them and really don't want to know when they've hit, especially if i didn't feel them.Unless it was a much bigger one that we'd all obviously feel, please stop talking about it. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!
