ARVIN, Calif. (AP) - Earthquakes on two separate faults rattled Central California a day after a 6.0-quake jolted the region. No major damage or injuries were reported.

The temblors Wednesday were close enough in time and location to leave scientists wondering about a possible link. A magnitude-5.0 earthquake shook Kern County, hours after a pair of aftershocks from Tuesday's quake rattled the earth more than 100 miles away in Monterey County.

The Kern County temblor triggered a rock slide on a state highway, but there were no reports of damage or injury, and the road was quickly cleared.

That earthquake struck 17 miles northeast of Arvin shortly before 4 p.m., said Anthony Guarino, a seismic analyst for the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

6. According to the repubs...

these earthquakes are all happening along a newly discovered and named fault line. According to a spokesman, "It's all Clinton's fault."
