A series of small earthquakes rattled the San Francisco Bay Area in an area that's had a lot of seismic activity in recent months. The most powerful of Monday's quakes was a magnitude 4.2 that struck shortly after 7 a.m. just south of San Ramon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. At least a dozen other smaller quakes struck in the same area starting around 6:30 a.m. and continuing for more than an hour. There were no immediate reports of damage. Bay Area Rapid Transit said delays could result from trains briefly running at reduced speeds during track safety inspections. Shaking was felt more than 30 miles away in San Francisco.

Rescuers are using backhoes and sniffer dogs to look for survivors in collapsed houses and other damaged buildings in the central Philippines, a day after an earthquake killed at least 69 people. Officials say the death toll is expected to rise from the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that hit at about 10 p.m. Tuesday. The quake trapped an unspecified number of residents in the hard-hit city of Bogo and outlying rural towns in Cebu province. Army troops, police and civilian volunteers were deployed Wednesday to carry out house-to-house searches. Officials say intermittent rain and damaged bridges and roads have hampered the race to save lives.
