SAN DIEGO, July 1 (UPI) -- The shaking from a magnitude 4.6 earthquake in northern Mexico was lightly felt in the San Diego area, seismologists said.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake hit at 8:25 p.m. PDT Saturday about 100 miles east-southeast of Tijuana, Mexico and was felt throughout San Diego County as far north as the Orange County line.
U-T San Diego said the epicenter was along the Laguna Salada fault in a sparsely populated area of Baja California.
The USGS said a larger 4.8 quake was recorded a few hours later in the same area. There were no reports of any damage in Mexico or shaking north of the border.
Northern California was also shaking overnight. A smaller 3.5 quake was recorded before dawn Sunday about 132 miles outside Sacramento.
The Los Angeles Times said it was the second quake in the area in the past 10 days with a magnitude greater than 3.0.
