NAPA, California—A significant aftershock from last weekend’s magnitude-6.0 earthquake has rattled Northern California’s wine country.
The US Geological Survey said the magnitude-3.2 tremor struck 5 miles (8 kilometers) south of the city of Napa just before 2 a.m. Sunday.
Thomas Brocher, director of USGS’ Earthquake Science Center, said it wasn’t the strongest aftershock to rumble the region since the main quake a week ago caused as much as $1 billion in damage and multiple injuries.
A magnitude-3.9 aftershock centered 8 miles (13 kilometers) south of Napa hit early Tuesday morning.
The USGS says there have been more than 70 aftershocks recorded since last Sunday’s earthquake.
No additional damage or injuries have been reported.
