A moderate earthquake struck a mile south from San Bernardino, about 60 miles from Los Angeles, and rattled Southern California all the way to the San Fernando Valley.
The magnitude-4.5 quake, which struck at 7:49 p.m., shook for at least a minute, according to residents of Highland, near the epicenter. The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported the earthquake to be magnitude 4.9 and was later downgraded from 5.0.
Shaking was also felt in Orange County.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
"It was a little roll and big jolt, then a sonic boom kind of noise," San Bernardino County Fire Supervisor Tim Franke said.
U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Lucy Jones says the quake struck near the San Jacinto Fault, which is part of the San Andreas Fault system.
