Overview
- A magnitude 3.8 quake hit about 5 miles east-southeast of Cloverdale at 12:57 a.m. Saturday and was followed by two smaller magnitude 2.8 and 2.7 quakes in the early morning hours.
- The U.S. Geological Survey’s felt-report map shows only light shaking in the area and no injuries have been reported.
- Local authorities have inspected or are monitoring the area for impacts and so far have not confirmed structural damage.
- Cloverdale sits on the Maacama Fault Zone, a known active regional fault, and seismologists note that small, closely timed shallow quakes like this commonly occur without causing major damage.
- Residents are being reminded to check emergency kits, secure loose items, and stay alert for any additional shallow aftershocks that could prompt further local inspections.
