3 Small Earthquakes Rattle Baja California

Three small earthquakes rattled Baja California today, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The first temblor struck at 12:54 this morning with a magnitude of 3.2, its epicenter 9 miles north of Guadalupe Victoria and 112 miles east of Tijuana, according to a computer-generated USGS report.

The next shaker -- magnitude 3.8 -- came at 3:18 a.m. and was centered 14 miles south of Calexico, Calif., and 147 miles east of Tijuana, the agency reported. The third quake -- its epicenter at around the same place as the one before it -- struck at 5:01 a.m. with a magnitude of 3.2.

KPBS has created a public safety coverage policy to guide decisions on what stories we prioritize, as well as whose narratives we need to include to tell complete stories that best serve our audiences. This policy was shaped through months of training with the Poynter Institute and feedback from the community. You can read the full policy here.
