MORGAN HILL – A magnitude 3.0 earthquake jolted South Santa Clara County Tuesday night, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake hit around 5:48 p.m. about 9.9 miles east of Seven Trees, 10.7 miles north of Morgan Hill and 10.8 miles east-southeast of Alum Rock, the USGS reported.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The earthquake happened along the seismically active Calaveras Fault, which has produced notable quakes, including a magnitude 6.2 in 1984 and a magnitude 5.9 in 1979.
The Bay Area has seen other quake activity in the past 10 days, including a swarm of more than 80 temblors in the San Ramon area. Six, including one late Monday night at 10:47 p.m., were 3.0 or above – generally large enough for most people to feel.
