United Press International reports David Russ of the USGS told CNN the quake near Santa Cruz was not the big one. Aftershocks followed in the Santa Cruz area while scientists warned major quakes remain possible along the San Andreas Fault. The temblor occurred about 10 miles northeast of Santa Cruz and 50 miles southeast of San Francisco, with prior related quakes in 1988 and August 1990.
