The U.S. Geological Survey shows a preliminary 5.0-magnitude quake struck at 7:49 p.m. about one mile south of San Bernardino. The USGS initially reported it at 4.9.
It was not immediately clear whether any damages or injuries occurred. The lines to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department were busy. Orange County and Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said there was no immediate reports of damage.
Bryan Gillott, a tattoo artist who works at Alla Prima Ink Lab in San Bernardino, said he felt the ground rolling under his feet for several seconds. He said he did not see any damage.
"I was on the computer," he said. "We all just got to a doorway and waited for it to be over."
