Two earthquakes struck 17 seconds apart Friday off the coast of California, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The first quake, with a magnitude of 6.4, struck at a depth of 6 miles, about 163 miles southwest of the nearest city, Avalon, on California’s Santa Catalina Island, at 2:36 a.m. PT (5:36 a.m. ET), the USGS said.

Moments later, a second quake, measuring 6.1 at a depth of nearly 7 miles, struck 88 miles southwest of Avalon, according to the USGS.
