(Keeler, CA) -- In a major California city citizens might be fairly worried by now, but the 66 residents of Keeler seem to be taking several days of unending earthquakes in stride.
The U.S. Geological survey reports a swarm of micro to moderate earthquakes started last Thursday, all centered within a few miles of the eastern California ghost town.
They continued Friday.
On Saturday there were more than 130 quakes ranging in size from a tiny one-point-five to a sizable five-point-two.
Today, the quakes tapered off to just over 20.
No damage or injuries are reported.
