<p>Residents of California’s Central Coast were left stunned on Thanksgiving Day 2025 when not one but TWO significant earthquakes struck within hours of each other. The first quake, a magnitude 5.2, hit at 10:42 AM PST about 8 miles southwest of Paso Robles in San Luis Obispo County, according to USGS. Just four hours later, a 4.8 magnitude aftershock rattled the exact same area, sending families running out of their Thanksgiving dinners in panic. Thousands reported intense shaking from Santa Maria to Monterey, with dishes crashing and pictures falling off walls across homes in Templeton, Atascadero, and San Luis Obispo. The USGS confirmed the quakes originated along the Rinconada Fault, an area known for seismic activity but rarely this strong on a major holiday. Emergency officials reported no major injuries or structural collapses so far, but several older buildings in downtown Paso Robles sustained cracked walls and broken windows. Caltrans is inspecting bridges along Highway 46 and 101 for possible damage. Residents took to social media with videos of swaying chandeliers, spilled turkey dinners, and dogs barking in terror as the ground rolled for nearly 20 seconds during the larger quake. “We were carving the turkey when the whole house started shaking violently, my kids screamed and we all ran outside,” said local resident Maria Gonzalez on X. The shaking was felt as far south as Santa Barbara and north toward King City. Seismologists warn that aftershocks up to magnitude 5.0 are possible over the next week, urging residents to secure furniture and prepare emergency kits immediately. This double quake event marks one of the strongest Thanksgiving seismic sequences in Central Coast history since the 2003 San Simeon earthquake.
