Two large earthquakes have struck in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern California and Mexico.
The US Geological Survey said the first quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4, was recorded 163 miles south-southwest of the California city of Avalon and 167 miles west-southwest of Rosarito, Mexico.
Only seconds later, a second quake with a magnitude of 6.1 struck 88 miles from Avalon. Both were recorded at relatively shallow depths.
No tsunami warning has been issued.
