SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 1 (UPI) -- The U.S. Geological Survey said a 4.4-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Mexico Monday morning was felt in parts of Orange County, Calif.
The Orange County (Calif.) Register said federal officials confirmed the quake did not create a tsunami, despite its strength and the fact it occurred beneath the seafloor on an unnamed fault off the coast of Tijuana, Mexico.
Among the California cities where the quake was felt included Costa Mesa, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach and San Clemente.
The Register said the quake occurred at a depth of 3.7 miles.
The San Diego Union-Tribune said residents of San Diego County also reported feeling the Mexican earthquake at 6:19 a.m. local time.
Despite the widespread reports, no injuries or damages were reported.
The Union-Tribune said while initial reports of the quake's magnitude ranged from 4.8 to 5.0, the magnitude has since been downgraded to a 4.4.
