3COM Weathewr Report (JEF edition): Moderate quake rattles Southern
California - Posted at 6:43 a.m. PST Wednesday, March 11, 1998

REDLANDS, Calif. (AP) -- A moderate earthquake shook a wide
area of Southern California early this morning. There were no
immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The quake, which struck at 4:18 a.m., had a preliminary magnitude of
4.5 and was centered 4 miles west-southwest of Redlands, according to
Egill Hauksson, a seismologist with the California Institute of
Technology in Pasadena.

The temblor was a new quake, not an aftershock, and it was too early
to tell what fault it was on, Hauksson said.

The quake struck in area of the San Jacinto fault zone, said Caltech
seismologist Kate Hutton.

''The San Jacinto is acutally one of the most active faults we have in
Southern California, maybe second after the San Andreas,'' Hutton
said.

The quake was felt in San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside and Los
Angeles counties. Redlands is about 66 miles southeast of downtown
Los Angeles.

The Riverside police department received a few phone calls from
''people that got woke up wanting to see if they really felt it,'' said a
dispatcher who declined to give her name.
