An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.4 struck an inland area near San Bernardino in southern California on Tuesday night. The tremor occurred at about 5:38 p.m. local time with a depth of about three miles. Magnitude 3.8 and 3.2 aftershocks followed a few minutes later, the U.S. Geological Survey said, according to The Associated Press.
People in the area reported feeling the tremor throughout the East Los Angeles suburbs that are about 50 miles away from the epicenter. However, there have been no reports on casualties, injuries or damages.
The origin of the quake came from the intersection of the San Jacinto, San Andreas and Cucamonga faults, but the USGS said the tremor was too small to determine which fault caused the quake, according to ABC News.
For the past 10 years, there have been nine earthquakes that come with a magnitude 4 and above in the general area. "There's nothing particularly different about it that we can see at this point," Lucy Jones, a USGS seismologist, told KNBC-TV, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
