August 17, 2016

A small earthquake rattled a populated swath of Southern California but there were no reports of damage or injury.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude 3.0 quake hit at 12:17 a.m. Tuesday about a mile from Yorba Linda in suburban Orange County.

The USGS says the quake struck at a depth of just under 2 miles.

A sheriff’s dispatcher says there were no calls reporting damage or injury.

The epicenter was about four miles east of Fullerton and 30 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
