- Share via
A magnitude 4.8 earthquake centered in the San Bernardino Mountains seven miles northwest of San Gorgonio peak shook much of urban Southern California at 6:34 a.m. Sunday, seismologists reported.
No damage and no injuries were reported in the temblor, which was a new quake and not an aftershock of the 1992 Landers-Big Bear quakes, said Lucy Jones of the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake was strongly felt at the many summer camps in the Barton Flats area, about 20 miles east of San Bernardino.
Downtown Los Angeles and Orange County felt the quake as a rolling motion.
