A violent earthquake struck early Friday morning off the coast of California, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The magnitude 6.3 quake struck at a depth of 6 miles, about 163 miles southwest of the nearest city, Avalon, on Californias Santa Catalina Island, at 2:36 a.m. PT (5:36 a.m. ET), the USGS said.
Earlier reports indicated that two earthquakes struck 17 seconds apart, but the USGS later confirmed that only one quake occurred.
