Just had a small earthquake (magnitude somewhere around 3) off the coast of San Diego. It was one sharp upward jolt then over. This is an image taken from a USGS data feed displayed in Google Earth. The red dot to the West of San Diego is the epicenter of the quake. The other little colored dots are small older quakes that have happened in the last day or so.
Correction: Magnitude 4.
Magnitude 4.0 - local magnitude (ML)
