Didn't feel it too bad in san diego but it was enough to wake me up. USGS is saying 5.2 just a little east of san diego.

(10,563 posts)I felt a slight rumble for about 5 seconds, told my partner I felt something like an earthquake and then about 2 seconds later it hit. Very sight hard jolt but I doubt any damage in San Diego.

(671 posts)Was asleep then I heard a change in the normal back round noise and it woke me up..I always seem to hear them before i feel it. The house rumbled from right to left..then it backtracked the opposite way. Few seconds at most but a good jolt being so close to epicenter.crazy.

(4,959 posts)Deadly but little-known: Why scientists are so afraid of the San Jacinto fault

The 5.2 magnitude earthquake that hit the desert southeast of Los Angeles on Friday was centered along the San Jacinto fault, which is one of the region’s most active and potentially dangerous fault lines.
The fault runs through populated areas such as San Bernardino, Colton, Moreno Valley, Redlands, Loma Linda, Hemet and San Jacinto, as well as near Riverside, Rialto and Fontana. The epicenter of Friday’s quake was in a more isolated area near Borrego Springs in eastern San Diego County.
The quake, which struck at 1:04 a.m., triggered more than 450 aftershocks but caused no major damage.
Experts have been warning for some time, however, that the San Jacinto fault — while less well known than the San Andreas — poses a major threat to the region.
"Because the San Jacinto fault cuts into the middle of the Inland Empire — instead of the edge of the desert — it cuts through a lot more people,” Julian Lozos, a Cal State Northridge professor of geophysics, told The Times in March. “There's just more people directly living on this fault."

The San Jacinto fault is also remarkably long, spanning 130 miles, which may explain why Friday’s temblor reportedly was felt from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border, said Egill Hauksson, a research professor of geophysics at Caltech.
