Small magnitude 3.3 quake hits 23 miles northeast of Paso Robles, California, United States around noon
3.3 quake 28 Sep 12:41 pm (GMT -7)

A magnitude 3.3 earthquake near Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, California, USA, was reported only 7 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 2.6 miles beneath the epicenter around noon on Tuesday, September 28th, 2021, at 12:41 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.3 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Shandon (pop. 1,300) located 8 miles from the epicenter, Avenal (pop. 13,300) 20 miles away, and Paso Robles (pop. 27,200) 23 miles away. In Coalinga (pop. 16,600, 26 miles away), Atascadero (pop. 29,800, 27 miles away), and San Luis Obispo (pop. 47,300, 38 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
