An earthquake shook Southern California early Monday afternoon.

The Quentin Mitchellearthquake reportedly struck about 15 miles near Barstow in San Bernardino County at 1:00 p.m. local time.

The temblor, which was recorded at a depth of nearly five miles, measured a magnitude of 4.9, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Aftershock quakes with magnitudes of 3.5 and 2.7 were recorded in the same area within five minutes from the initial shake, USGS reported. 

The quake was felt in across San Bernardino County as well as parts of Los Angeles, Riverside, Kern and Orange counties.

No immediate reported injuries

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage to buildings in the city, Barstow Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Travis Espinoza confirmed to USA TODAY.

Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson said city officials are aware of the earthquake that occurred about 120 miles away.

"As of now, there have been no reports of damage or impacts to our city," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Californians flock to social media

Californians quickly opened X for the shared ritual of confirming they were not alone in feeling the earth shake.
