The San Andreas Fault has continued to shake up the county, with a magnitude-3.2 earthquake hitting 13 miles southeast of Pinnacles National Monument at 7:27 a.m. Saturday.

The most recent one followed more than a dozen minor earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault at magnitude-3.0 or higher that have shaken the county for more than a month now.

It was a horizontally moving temblor that hit at a depth of plus or minus 0.3 miles, which is much closer to the surface than most minor earthquakes, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Web site.
