Today’s Covelo temblor comes a day after a 6.2 magnitude quake struck the North Coast, its epicenter off Cape Mendocino in the Pacific Ocean. The quake caused damage throughout Humboldt County, and its effects were felt in Mendocino County but no damage was reported. It’s worth noting a cluster of aftershocks have rumbled near the epicenter of yesterday’s quake.
