The North Bay earthquake was just one of a few sizable shakers to jolt the Golden State in the past 24 hours. Early Wednesday, a 3.9-magnitude earthquake shook near the small town of Templeton, which is located in San Luis Obispo County. Another magnitude-3.9 earthquake hit late Tuesday close to Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort in Mono County.
