THE GEYSERS (CBS13) - Continuing a string of seismic activity across California recently, a preliminary magnitude 5.0 quake struck near The Geysers Wednesday morning.

The earthquake, which happened a little after 8:30 a.m., was centered a little over 13 miles west of Cloverdale.

There has been no initial word of damages or anyone injured.
