Aftershocks Follow Tuesday Quake

Sponsored by:

More than 160 aftershocks have followed today´s central California quake, but no injuries have been reported.

The earthquake was centered a few miles southeast of Parkfield.

The tiny town is located on the San Andreas Fault — in one of the world´s most seismically active areas.

A local vineyard owner says nearby trees were “shaking like brooms” and most of his water pipes burst.

The quake tipped over about three-hundred cases of wine and damaged five or six of his buildings — including his home.

The quake´s magnitude was measured at 6.0, which can cause severe damage in areas less remote than Parkfield — population 37.

As one resident put it, “I´ll take my earthquakes over those hurricanes any day.”
