California rocked by twin earthquakes in San Bernardino
A pair of earthquakes rocked San Bernardino, California Monday morning.
The first tremor hit the area at 9.44am local time at a preliminary 3.5 magnitude, and a second quake followed at 9.48am at a 3.0 magnitude, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Both earthquakes took place approximately three miles north-northeast of San Bernardino, with their depths spanning more than four miles.
No reports of damage were immediately reported.
The 3.5 earthquake was felt in San Bernardino, as well as Ontario, Victorville, Hesperia and Riverside.
Residents in Inglewood, Redondo Beach, Palm Springs, Huntington Beach and north San Diego County reported feeling them as well, as one X user said: ‘Felt both!’
‘Yup felt that one…another day in California,’ wrote another.
More than 230 said they felt shaking during the quakes, the USGS Felt Report said.

Others said they didn’t feel the quakes at all, as California is used to larger tremors.
‘Hell, I’m IN San Bernardino – and I needed social media to tell me there was an earthquake,’ a person said on X.
‘No, did not feel it. And I’m in that area,’ another said on Facebook.
