REDLANDS, Calif.—Several small earthquakes shook two areas of Southern California late Sunday and early Monday, officials said.
The largest was magnitude-3.2 at 10:13 p.m. Sunday and was centered outside Redlands, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
It was followed within minutes by a pair of magnitude-2.7 temblors, the USGS said. Another magnitude-2.5 quake struck the area at 2:21 a.m. Monday.
A Redlands police dispatcher said the department received calls from residents who felt the quakes, but no damage or injuries were reported.
A magnitude-3.0 quake struck at 9:29 p.m. Sunday near the small desert town of Westmorland, about 90 miles east of San Diego, the USGS said.
