An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.5 shook a large portion of Southern California early Tuesday morning, authorities said.
The U.S. Geological Survey put the epicenter of the 4:49 a.m. temblor about 7 miles north of Cabazon.
There were no immediate reports of damage.
According to the USGS, the quake was felt across a wide swath of the region, from the Inland Empire west to Los Angeles and Orange County.
Cabazon is about 89 miles east of downtown L.A.

Sharp quick two second pop in Chino, 55 miles or so away. No surprise, it seems when it start getting hot we are due.
Question of the day: “did the earth move for you, too?”
It would be interesting to know if the hot spring reacted at all.
My question...... Isn’t it time for something a lot bigger?
Dinosaurs!
Cabazon is where the dinosaurs are!
Felt it down here in San Diego. The temblor woke me up.
I’ll try that one on the pretty missus when she wakes up but I’ll probably just get a whack on the arm.
It’s going to flip over with all those illegals coming in.
That was the train- “Color of Money”.
Warm up act for when the Lord lays waste of San Francisco?
We had a 4.4 off of Ferndale too.

Maybe. Maybe not.
Did it knock out the stop light in Banning?
(Jack Benny fans might get the reference)
Here in North Orange County, I was half awake, and it felt like the cat jumped onto the bed. Then I remembered that I no longer have a cat.
By the way, Cabazon is right on the San Andreas fault.
Actually, I was in a hotel for the Anaheim quake and for a moment thought the guests next door were getting pretty rambunctious.
Good news it this quake was shallow at only eight miles.
Bad news is, it was right in San Andreas fault zone.
I did not notice a thing. I was sound asleep. Anyways that is the big San Andreas fault.
Banning was the home of the San Gorgonio Inn, a famous restaurant that had once been a stage coach stop. On trips that took us through the San Gorgonio Pass or into the nearby San Jacinto Mountains, we always tried to arrive there at mealtime. They had the best fried chicken I have ever eaten. However, it catered heavily to travelers, and with the advent of the Interstate and cars with high speeds and low mileage, and fast food joints like McDonald’s, where you could grab your food and continue on your journey, the number of customers fell off. After decades of decline, the restaurant finally closed, and the site is now a vacant lot.
Banning was also the site of Kent’s ice cream parlor, famous for its black and white sundaes. I last ate there in 1961.
