VIDEO: Shaking was reported in parts of Los Angeles Monday morning from a magnitude-5.2 earthquake more than 100 miles away in San Diego County. The quake at about 10:10 a.m. was in the Julian area in east San Diego County, about 130 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. Shaking was reported in parts of LA, Grand Terrace, the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Downey, Cypress, San Pedro, Long Beach, Seal Beach, Pasadena, Corona in Riverside County and other areas.
Initially reported at magnitude-6.0 and later downgraded, the quake triggered mobile emergency alerts on phones in Los Angeles County and elsewhere. “It lasted long enough that my alert went off,” said Temecula resident Kathleen Dolan. “I was having a great morning drinking my coffee and I’m thinking I need to hit the floor.”
Several aftershocks of magnitude-2.5 and greater were reported in the region. NBCLA viewers from around Southern California reported shaking. “I felt it here in Tujunga, and I’m 100 miles from there,” said NBCLA Facebook user Laura Green. “Felt it in Tustin, strong rattle,” Bonni Christopher said. “I’m in North Indio,” said Mary Catherine Egan. “Felt very strong.”
