It’s been a full week of earthquakes in California, including a 4.1 near Templeton that triggered an alert for residents. “This week is a bit busy,” Minson said. “But earthquakes are not uniformly spaced out in space and time, so this is all within the normal variation for earthquakes.”

A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck 9 miles south-southeast of Fern Forest on the Island of Hawaiʻi on Tuesday at 11:49 p.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake, which occurred at a depth of 3 miles below sea level, had no apparent impact on either Mauna Loa or Kīlauea volcanoes.
