A magnitude 3.6 earthquake — followed by a magnitude 2.3 quake — slightly shook the East Bay late Tuesday night, causing little or no damage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The agency reported that the quakes struck at 11:36 p.m. and then at 11:41 p.m. and were centered in southeast Oakland in the area of the Hayward Fault.

Copying and pasting the coordinates from the agency into Google maps gives the epicenter location.
