Central California was shaken by a 3.5-magnitude earthquake on July 9, with The New York Times reporting the event based on data from the U.S. Geological Survey.
USGS data cited by The New York Times places the epicenter approximately nine miles northwest of Pinnacles, Calif., with the quake occurring just before 8 a.m. Pacific time.
Reviewing new data after an earthquake can lead scientists to adjust their initial magnitude reading, and the USGS shake-severity map for this event is similarly subject to revision, The Times noted.
