Did You Feel The Earthquake, Lake Elsinore?

A magnitude-4.4 earthquake struck near Devore in San Bernardino County late this afternoon, and was widely felt in the Pass area— but there were no immediate reports of injury or damage.

The quake, felt across a wide swath of the Southland, struck at 5:48 p.m., four miles north of Muscoy at a depth of 2 1/2 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Its exact location was:

• 4km (2mi) SSW of Devore, California
• 7km (4mi) WNW of Muscoy, California
• 10km (6mi) NNW of Rialto, California
• 11km (7mi) NNE of Fontana, California
• 13km (8mi) WNW of San Bernardino, California
• 78km (48mi) ENE of Los Angeles, California

The Riverside County Fire Department reported no damage or injuries as a result of the quake.

No damage or injuries were reported by the Los Angeles city and county fire departments.

The temblor was followed by several apparent aftershocks, including one with a preliminary magnitude of 3.8 at 5:53 p.m. and another with a preliminary magnitude of 3.2, according to the USGS.

The earthquake was felt in San Bernardino, Riverside, Imperial, Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, Kern and Ventura counties with some reports coming from as far away as Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Fresno and even Santa Clara counties, according to the USGS “Did you feel it” Web page.

The earthquake came near the intersection of the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults, USGS seismologist Lucy Jones said.
