A flurry of six small aftershocks of the Northridge earthquake, the strongest a magnitude 3.0, rattled the San Fernando Valley early Monday, Caltech seismologists reported.
The quakes, none of which caused either damage or injury, were centered four miles northwest of San Fernando. They began at 2:52 a.m with a 2.7 and continued for several minutes, with the 3.0 occurring at 4:09 a.m.
There have been about 15,000 aftershocks of the Jan. 17, 1994, earthquake, most of them too weak to be felt, experts said.
