A pair of small aftershocks to the devastating Northridge earthquake rattled the San Fernando Valley Saturday, but no damage or injuries were reported.
A magnitude 2.7 aftershock struck at 5:54 p.m. and was centered two miles east of San Fernando. It was followed by a 3.2 temblor at 7:13 p.m., said Kathy Wyllis, seismic analyst at Caltech in Pasadena. The epicenter of the second aftershock was one mile west of San Fernando.
Police and Fire Department spokesmen said they received no calls about either temblor.
The shakers were aftershocks to the magnitude 6.7 Northridge earthquake of Jan. 17, Wyllis said.
