A 3.4 magnitude earthquake was detected in the city of Hayward at 2:52 pm ET, followed by a 3.2 magnitude quake just two minutes later .

A 2.9 magnitude quake was reported just off the coast near Petrolia at 2.40 pm ET and was preceded by a 2.7 magnitude quake at 8:03 am ET in nearly the exact same part of Hayward .

Two more quakes struck less than six hours later , roughly 250 miles north of the Hayward quakes.

The quakes hit on the San Andreas fault that scientists have been monitoring due to it being overdue for a major event that would cause significant damage and death.
