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.
