Earthquake

HOLLISTER

A magnitude-3.7 earthquake shook the Tres Pinos area at about 4:20 p.m. Thursday, with no reported damage.

The minor temblor hit at 4:20 p.m. and had an epicenter of about seven miles south of Tres Pinos and 12 miles south/southeast of Hollister, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It is an area of the San Andreas Fault that experienced a flurry of activity three weeks ago with several earthquakes surpassing magnitude-3.0 and approaching magnitude-4.0.

A Hollister police dispatcher said she did not feel the earthquake in her office and had not received any calls about injuries or damage.
