A 4.5 earthquake, first reported to be magnitude 5.0, struck tonight in the San Bernardino area at 7:49 p.m. There have been no immediate reports of major damage or injuries save for pictures frames and other household items falling in homes near the epicenter.
"Earthquake experts have long said San Bernardino is particularly vulnerable to a massive temblor -- the type many times stronger than Thursday's quake," noted the LA Times. "San Bernardino lies between two of the state’s most active earthquake faults, the San Andreas and the San Jacinto. Moreover, much of the city was built above a huge underground water basin."
TV and radio witness reports indicate there was a slight rumble before a large jolt and "sonic boom" like noise.

Shook a little bit here in Westchester near LAX - enough to get the cat's attention :-)
I was in a spin class in NoHo and didn't feel a thing.
I was talking to the DirecTV guy in located in Idaho. He didn't feel a thing.
LOL, Farley
Zach, I'm in NoHo too, in a two story house and it felt very strong here... quite scary.
I saw your tweets, Foodeater. You freaked out, hehe. I was at RPM for a spin class for the first time. Good stuff. Next I'll check out Lotus Kitty in Studio City and The Ride in Sherman Oaks. (non sequitar yelp moment)
I sure did freak out! Still kinda freaked... earthquakes and I do not have a very good history together.
Good luck with the spin classes! That's what I need to be doing instead of sitting on my fat ass tweeting all day :)
Yeah, you lazy vegan! :)
Hey someone's gotta help break the stereotype of all vegans being starved and skinny, right?!?
Felt it in the Marina - my cat is my alarm for quakes, too!
I like how cats know before the shaking perceivably starts for us.
Lot's of swaying in Sherman Oaks. I was at the computer and my desk and monitor were going! I figured it might be decent sized but far away...
Felt it. Heard it. in Silver Lake.
