Two different earthquakes rattled the Inland Empire on Saturday, according to the United States Geological Survey. 

The first happened at around 2:17 p.m. nearly four and a half miles northwest of Fontana, the department said. The 3.5 magnitude quake occurred at a geological depth of just over one and a half miles. 

The USGS did not report any aftershock as of 3:30 p.m., but at around 8:17 p.m. USGS said that there was a 3.4 magnitude quake in nearly the exact same location. The second incident happened just 3.7 miles north, northwest of Fontana, this time at a geological depth of over two miles. 

While there have been no reports of damage or injury in either incident, the quakes were felt throughout Southern California. According to USGS' "Did You Feel It?" tracker, people reported feeling shaking as far as Santa Clarita and Temecula.
