A magnitude 3.4 earthquake near El Cajon, San Diego County, California, USA, was reported only 12 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 8.7 miles beneath the epicenter early afternoon on Sunday, April 13th, 2025, at 3:54 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.5. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.5.

Weak shaking might have been felt in Julian (pop. 1,500) located 3 miles from the epicenter.
