Moderate quake strikes San Bernardino

A moderate earthquake struck Thursday night in San Bernardino, with shaking felt from Los Angeles 55 miles to the west and south to Orange County. No immediate reports of damage or injuries were reported.

A preliminary reading by the U.S. Geological Survey showed a 4.5-magnitude quake struck at 7:49 p.m. about one mile south of San Bernardino, a city of about 200,000 people. The USGS initially reported it at 4.9, then 5.0.

San Bernardino County Fire Supervisor Tim Franke said there were no reports of damage.

"It was a little roll and big jolt, then a sonic boom kind of noise," Franke said.
