SAN DIEGO, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- A light earthquake shook inland areas in southern California early Tuesday.
The U.S. Geological Survey said that the quake measured 4.0 on the Richter scale, The Riverside Press-Enterprise reported. Earthquakes of that size are unlikely to cause any real damage, although those who experience them will feel buildings shaking and indoor items rattling.
The quake occurred at about 7:45 a.m. and appeared to be centered a La Jolla, 7 miles from San Diego. Rumbles were felt as far as Riverside, more than 100 miles north.
Two minor quakes struck California Monday and a 4.7-magnitude quake hit Lake Elsinore on Sunday.
