A pair of earthquakes rattle both Northern and Southern California

The quake struck at 11:39 p.m., with effects being felt as far as 150-miles away.

The 4.3 magnitude quake caused about 10 seconds of shaking, about a third as long as a magnitude 7 would generate, according to experts.

This story is developing.

There are no reports of any significant damage at this time.

“The couch just started shaking and it scared the crap out of me”, Paquette said over the phone.

Laura Melgoza, 23, a college student and cashier at WaBa Grill in San Bernardino, said she and her co-workers headed toward the front of the building as the restaurant shook. Residents in numerous B.C communities took to Twitter to say they also felt the quake.

There are no reports of damage or injuries, and the National Tsunami Warning Center said the natural disaster was not expected to produce a tsunami.

There were no injuries or damage but power was for a time knocked out to some 4,500 homes in the region. Within less than an hour, the USGS had received more than 6,000 reports of shaking through the “Did You Feel It?” feature on its website.

Given the depth of Tuesday’s quake, he said it’s unlikely there would be any aftershocks, but if there were any, they would be light.

The largest of the aftershocks has measured magnitude 3.8, but most were too small to be felt.

The commission is preparing similar actions in response to the December 29 quakes near Edmond, but has not finalized a plan, said spokesman Matt Skinner.

“Compared to these large earthquakes, last night was just a tiny drop in the bucket”, Cassidy said. This quake measured a magnitude-4.9.
