The U.S. saw three significant earthquakes this weekend, with no major damage or injuries reported in any of them.

The largest and most recent earthquake hit three miles south of Redlands, California, at 1:39 PM PST. United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the quake registered at 4.1 magnitude and was followed by smaller aftershocks, between 1.4 to 1.5 magnitude.
The USGS also reported that a 3.4 magnitude quake struck southeastern San Diego County earlier, at 8:34 AM PST, near where seismologists have been observing frequent earthquake swarms across the border in nearby Mexicali, Mexico.
The strangest of all however, came Friday night in Oklahoma at 11:30 PM CST. While the USGS reported the earthquake was a very minor 3.2 magnitude quake, but was the last in many small quakes in the region for the past two months.
Elsewhere in the world, the tiny nation of Tonga was hit by a much larger 6.3 magnitude quake, that amazingly, did not cause a tsunami alert, any loss of life or injuries, or immediate reports of damage. Locals were woken by the trembler at 4:47 AM local time Friday, while waiting for the category three tropical cyclone Rene to come ashore. In September 2009, the tiny Pacific island lost nine people in a tsunami that struck the Tongan Island of Niuatoputapu. The tsunami was followed by a magnitude 8.0 earthquake shortly after.
