A preliminary 4.2-magnitude earthquake struck near San Bernardino, California Wednesday night.

It happened at about 7:43 p.m., about 1.87 miles away from the Inland Empire city. It had a depth of about 9.63 miles. Dr. Lucy Jones, considered the public voice of earthquake safety in California, said the epicenter was close to the San Jacinto fault.
