Ammon News - A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck near San Diego at 10:08 a.m. Monday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake's epicenter was recorded 2.49 miles south of Julian, in San Diego County.

According to the USGS map, the quake was felt widely across Southern California and into Mexico.

Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones said this earthquake is likely associated with the Elsinore Fault, which is a branch of the larger San Andreas Fault system. Jones said the depth of the quake was about eight miles below the surface of the Earth.

Jones said Sunday's 3.3-magnitude earthquake in the same area was a foreshock to Monday's 5.2-magnitude earthquake.

There were no reports of injuries or damage. CBS
