Two small earthquakes have rumbled along the Mexico border, just hours after a larger quake rattled much of Southern California.

The U.S. Geological Survey issued preliminary measurements of the 3.3- and a 3.0-magnitude quakes striking a little before 5 a.m. Friday. The quakes were in northern Baja California, near Mexicali, about 125 miles east of San Diego.

A Mexicali newspaper's Web site made no immediate mention of any damage or injuries.

The USGS measured a 4.5-magnitude quake at 7:49 p.m. Thursday just south of San Bernardino, about 55 miles east of Los Angeles.

That temblor could be felt from Los Angeles to the border.

Some shops reported stock falling from shelves but there was no major damage or injuries.
