San Jacinto earthquake of a magnitude 3.7 felt by residents across Riverside County had them reporting of hearing loud rumbling, then followed by a strong jolt. According to the US Geological Survey website, the San Jacinto earthquake was felt at the San Jacinto Valley just north of San Jacinto on Tuesday night at 7:38 p.m. PDT.

By 8:30, approximately an hour after, a second earthquake with a 2.9 magnitude shook the same area.

The San Jacinto earthquake was centered one mile from San Jacinto, just three miles from Hemet, reports The Desert Sun. It reportedly hit at a depth of 8.3 miles, one mile north-northwest of San Jacinto, reports the USGS.

According to NBC Los Angeles, there had been no immediate reports of injuries or damages from both earthquakes. However, several residents said they felt the two San Jacinto earthquakes from over Palm Springs to Menifee.

Meanwhile, police in Hemet, a city south of San Jacinto, also received no reports of damage, reports The Press Enterprise.

The USGS reports the epicentre of the San Jacinto earthquake to be located in a San Jacinto residential neighborhood in the 900 block of Yorkshire Lane.

Multiple reports say that residents as far east as Indio, west as Chino Hills, north as San Bernardino and as far south as Temecula felt the first San Jacinto earthquake. According to NBC Los Angeles, it had also been felt as far away as Diamond Bar and parts of Orange County.

A mad residing in the neighbourhood said, "It felt like it was like, 'Boom!' It maybe lasted like 15 seconds."

The San Jacinto earthquake was also described as a "short jolt" by a Twitter user, while another twiterrer from Moreno Valley said it felt like a "gentle roller."

On the NBCLA Facebook page, a woman named Gina Dolce said, "It was loud. Sounded like an explosion."

Another Facebook user reported her experience of the San Jacinto earthquake saying, "Shook here in San Jacinto! It was a loud one. Heard it before I felt it!"

"I live in Hemet, and we just moved to CA, so it's our first one. Wow...a little freaked and excited! Did not expect the noise...sounded and felt like a train ran right next to the house," reported a Jennifer Blenk Walsh on Facebook.

According to The Epoch Times, a resident named Carried from Murrieta even called in to CBS and said the San Jacinto earthquake "didn't feel that bad at all, but I felt something."

Jackie of Yucaipa also told the network via SMS, "One hard shake and a couple weak shakes. But boy did the windows rattle!"

Despite the wide range of people reporting on the San Jacinto earthquake from different areas, Palm Springs or Palm Desert residents did not feel the temblor.

Meanwhile, The Epoch Times reports that another quake, of a 2.6 magnitude, hit California five miles south-southwest of Napa early Tuesday morning. Napa was hit with a magnitude 6.0 quake in August.

The recent San Jacinto earthquake reportedly hit likely along the San Jacinto Fault Zone, which is a major strike-slip fault zone running through San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial Counties. The component is reportedly larger than the San Andreas fault system.

San Jacinto earthquake also hit three miles north of Hemet, four miles north-northwest of East Hemet and five miles northwest of Valle Vista, according to the USGS.
