The earthquake came several hours after a similarly-sized one shook along the San Andreas Fault a few miles north near Big Bear City. The 3.5-magnitude earthquake struck shortly before midnight at a depth of about 7.6 kilometers, according to USGS.
The last notable earthquake to strike San Diego County was recorded a little over a month ago. The quake, which happened around 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 17, was recorded as a magnitude 3.0 about 28 miles of San Clemente island.
