3.6 | 4.3 Downtown San Diego Earthquakes

At 8:52 pm, a 3.6 magnitude earthquake hit 11 miles west southwest of downtown San Diego.

At 8:57pm, a 4.3 magnitude earthquake hit 38 miles southwest of Imperial Beach.

Both earthquakes hit 5 minutes apart and both were off the coast of downtown San Diego. This is a change in activity as both quakes occurred far from the Baja aftershock sequence. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries and none would be expected due to the moderate to low magnitude of both quakes.

The magnitudes and locations are subject to change as the USGS reviews that data.

The last earthquake in this region was a 3.5 magnitude quake 36 miles southwest of Rosarito, Mexico, on March 24, 2010.

Before that, there was also a 4.4 and two 3.6 magnitude earthquakes between February 1st and February 3rd earlier this year in the same general location off the coast.
