Officials say the day’s first quake was felt at 3:47 a.m. at a depth of 5.2 miles, its epicenter about 38 miles south-southwest of Avalon, according to a computer-generated USGS report.
A second 4.3 magnitude quake was reported in the same area at 7:32 a.m. and also had a depth of 5.2 miles, according to the USGS. Both were felt in parts of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties.
