The mountainous region in Northern California has been struck by a magnitude 5.2 earthquake on Tuesday night, at 8:03 p.m. at epicenter.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake centered 11 miles from Willow Creek, CA and lasted less than 10 seconds. Three short aftershocks were recorded after that, with the largest measuring a magnitude 2.4, USGS reported.

Immediately after the mainshock, USGS said there is a 10 percent possibility for a damaging aftershock to take place in the next seven days. However, this time no damages or injuries have been reported.

USGS also warned that within the next seven days, people in the area might experience approximately 3 to 20 aftershocks, but they will most likely be small ones and won’t create any damages.

California is known to be exposed to earthquakes due to the San Andreas Fault, as well as other faults in the area, thus it is vulnerable to tsunamis as well. However, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, no tsunami warning was necessary on Tuesday night.

The earliest reported earthquake in California was felt in 1769 by the exploring expedition of Gaspar de Portola while the group was camping about 48 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Los Angeles.

Each year California faces more than 10,000 earthquakes in its south part alone. Most of them are so small that they are not even felt, and only several hundred of them are greater than magnitude 3.0, and only about 15-20 are greater than magnitude 4.0.
