MUSCOY, Calif. — A preliminary 4.3-magnitude earthquake struck Southern California Thursday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

That quake hit just after 9:30 a.m. in the Muscoy area at a depth of just over three miles. A few minutes later, a smaller 3.1-magnitude temblor shook the Rialto area nearby.

A preliminary 4.3-magnitude earthquake struck near the Fontana and Rialto areas in San Bernardino County Thursday.

About an hour before that, the Rialto are saw two smaller quakes – magnitude 3.0 and 2.8.

People reported feeling shaking in many areas including Jurupa Valley, Eastvale, Ontario and even as far as Redondo Beach. Most callers described it as a jolt or sudden movement.

“I felt it in Garden Grove, in my apartment on the 7th floor,” Gregory Christison said on Facebook. “It was a rolling sensation.”

Cindy Hecht Sedbrook said she was on the 11th floor of a building in Irvine when she felt the quake.

No damage or injuries were immediately reported.

ABC7 has compiled a list of items that are important to have in your earthquake kit so that you’re prepared for “the big one.”

This comes just days after a massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off Russia’s Pacific coast on Tuesday, sparking tsunami warnings — and evacuations of coastal areas — in Hawaii and alerts all down the U.S. West Coast.
