4.1-magnitude earthquake rattles much of Southern California
Newsy
A second earthquake with a magnitude above 4.0 hit Southern California Friday morning, rattling potentially millions of residents.
A 4.1-magnitude earthquake lightly shook a wide region of Southern California Friday morning.
The quake was reported at 10:55 a.m. with a preliminary magnitude of 4.6 but was quickly downgraded, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Its epicenter stretched 5.5 miles underground, but above, it was centered north of Rancho Cucamonga in the San Gabriel Mountains.
Though a few miles from the eastern San Bernardino, those in western regions of Los Angeles County also felt its impact, with those downtown feeling it as a slight rocking and others nearer Century City feeling light shakes.
Quakes of this magnitude rarely have the strength to leave significant damage, and there were no immediate reports of any injuries or structural effects.
