A minor, 3.4-magnitude earthquake struck in Southern California on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 9:36 a.m. Pacific time about 4 miles southwest of Redlands, Calif., data from the agency shows.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
