LONG BEACH, CA. (THECOUNT) — A pair of magnitude 4.3 earthquakes, located in almost the same location, struck offshore Wednesday morning in the Pacific Ocean, just south of San Clemente Island.
The quakes were felt from Long Beach along to Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The first 4.3 temblor struck at 3:47 a.m. at a depth of 4.3 miles, its epicenter about 38 miles south-southwest of Avalon, according to a computer-generated USGS report. The second earthquake hit around 7:32 a.m. a couple of miles further west, reports LBpost.
Reports on the USGS “Did You Feel It?” map for the first quake showed light shaking could be felt along the coast from Santa Monica to San Clemente and as far inland as Hemet and Fontana.
Light shaking was also reported in San Diego County from Escondido to Chula Vista.
The second earthquake appeared to be felt across much of the same area, according to USGS data.
No damage or injuries were immediately reported, reports LBpost.
The quakes struck just as officials have been rolling out the “Get Prepared, California!” campaign aimed at preparing residents for the eventual “big one.”
