The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.5 quake in the United States near Hemet, Riverside County, California, 36 minutes ago. The earthquake hit around noon on Wednesday, June 4th, 2025, at 12:27 pm local time at a shallow depth of 9.4 miles. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.5.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Mountain Center (pop. 63) located 3 miles from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Hemet (pop. 83,900) located 13 miles from the epicenter, San Jacinto (pop. 47,000) 14 miles away, Palm Springs (pop. 47,400) 16 miles away, Cathedral City (pop. 53,800) 19 miles away, Menifee (pop. 87,200) 22 miles away, Temecula (pop. 110,000) 25 miles away, and Murrieta (pop. 109,800) 27 miles away.
