TWO earthquakes measuring 3.1 and 4.2 on the Richter Scale jolted China's Hebei Province yesterday morning, according to China's national seismological network.
The first quake struck at 10:49am and the second at 11am. The quakes hit the juncture area between Luanxian County of Tangshan City and the urban area of Tangshan.
A man from the Xiangfuli Community in Tangshan said he felt two tremors at his home on the fifth floor.
The Tangshan Seismological Bureau said they had not received any report of casualties or construction damage and the influence of the quakes would be "slight."
A deadly 7.8-magnitude quake hit Tangshan in 1976, claiming more than 240,000 lives. But yesterday's tremors did not arouse panic.
"I felt the quake, but I didn't feel panic," said Yang Guoqiang, an elderly man who was taking a walk in a garden when it struck.
Many constructions in Tangshan were built after the deadly earthquake, and were "of good quality," Yang said.
The city's traffic flowed smoothly and many residents even did not leave their homes after the tremors.
