Jones said the epicenter was near the San Andreas Fault, but not on it. Most callers said ceiling lights swayed. Some said their lawn sprinklers were triggered. Pools across the area reportedly cracked and sloshed water. A woman in the Moreno Valley told reporters it felt like the strongest quake since the 1971 Sylmar quake, which was a magnitude-7.1.
Most reports say the quake felt long and rumbling.
Police and firefighters continue to check for injuries and damages. Experts say the reason this SoCal temblor has reportedly caused much less damage is because its epicenter was in a rural area.
