Minor Earthquake Shakes California

December 29, 2003

SAN SIMEON, California (AP) -- A minor earthquake hit early Monday in the vicinity of last week's deadly quake, but there were no reports of damage or injuries, officials said.

The magnitude-3.8 earthquake struck at 1:05 a.m. and was centered about five miles northeast of San Simeon, according to a preliminary report by the U.S. Geological Survey.

The temblor struck about 26 miles west of Paso Robles, where a magnitude-6.5 quake on December 22 killed two people and caused at least $200 million in damage. Dozens of aftershocks have been recorded over the past week.
