Small earthquakes struck two sections of California on Monday morning.
A magnitude 3.6 temblor hit at around 9:46 a.m. about 11 miles southeast of Ocotillo (about 20 miles from El Centro). The area has recorded thousands of quake since last year's 7.2 Easter Sunday quake.
A magnitude 3.0 earthquake was recorded in the East Bay area around 12:31 a.m., centered about three miles from Concord and 16 miles northeast of Oakland.
Neither quake caused significant damage, but the Concord quake was felt across the Bay Area, particularly in Contra Costa County, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
