The Inland Empire region of Southern California has experienced a series of three earthquakes, the most recent being a magnitude 3.6 tremor at 9:58 p.m.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the epicenter of this earthquake was approximately 3.1 miles northeast of San Bernardino, at a depth of about 5.1 miles.
Earlier that day, two additional earthquakes struck the same area. The first, a magnitude 3.5 quake, occurred at 9:44 a.m., followed by a magnitude 3.0 tremor at 9:48 a.m. Both were centered near San Bernardino.
Despite the frequency of these events, there were no immediate reports of significant damage or injuries resulting from any of the three earthquakes.
The Inland Empire, situated along several active fault lines, is accustomed to seismic activity.
According to the USGS, California records thousands of earthquakes annually, though the majority are minor and go unnoticed by residents.
