The U.S. Geological Survey is reporting a 5.2-magnitude earthquake – a moderate but noteworthy earthquake – near the San Jacinto fault in southern California. The quake was centered in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A local news outlet, the Desert Sun reported that the quake shook southern California residents awake early Friday at 1:04 a.m.
USGS gives the following information about the quake:

At least two aftershocks – measuring 3.0 and 3.5 – have occurred as well as dozens of small aftershocks, according to the Desert Sun.
California is an earthquake-prone region because it is located along what geologists call the Ring of Fire surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Read more: What is the Ring of Fire?
