A 3.9-magnitude earthquake struck northwest of Lake Elsinore at 9:39 a.m. Thursday.

There were no immediate reports of damage, and the quake was not expected to be strong given its size.

The USGS's earthquake early warning system did not send an alert to cell phones in the area because the shaking was not strong enough.

This is the second minor earthquake to hit Southern California in the past few days. The other, a 4.4-magnitude quake, struck Monday with its epicenter just below a populated area of ​​Los Angeles near Highland Park. The quake has raised some concerns because it appears to have come from an area capable of producing a quake that could be more destructive and deadly than what we’ve seen from the San Andreas.

This was followed by two aftershocks within half an hour of the initial event, one with a magnitude of 3.0 and the other with a magnitude of 1.9.

There is a 5% chance that a larger earthquake will occur in the coming days, which is a standard expectation after any earthquake. However, this probability will decrease over time.
