3.6 quake 28 Apr 3:50 am (GMT -7)

The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.6 quake in the United States near Ramona, San Diego County, California, only 7 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Wednesday 28 April 2021 at 3:50 am local time at a very shallow depth of 4.4 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Borrego Springs (pop. 3,400) located 6 miles from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Ramona (pop. 20,300) located 29 miles from the epicenter. In Indio (pop. 87,500, 40 miles away), Escondido (pop. 151,500, 41 miles away), El Cajon (pop. 103,700, 42 miles away), San Marcos (pop. 92,900, 45 miles away), Temecula (pop. 112,000, 50 miles away), Vista (pop. 100,900, 50 miles away), and San Diego (pop. 1,394,900, 55 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
