KCAL reports that the epicenter of the earthquake was 2.49 miles south of Julian.

According to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The California Department of Transportation posted images of rocks that fell on State Route 76 just east of E Grade Road and also cautioned drivers to be aware of potential hazards.

When the earthquake struck and bottles began to fly off the shelf, one man told the local news station that he was inside Julian’s Mountain Spirits Liquor.

“I just hear like consecutive three to four different bursts and pops of different bottles,” he said.

According to a social media tweet from his office, Governor Gavin Newsom has been briefed on the earthquake.

“The state is coordinating with local authorities to assess any damage and if emergency response is needed.”

Todd Gloria, the mayor of San Diego, spoke about the powerful earthquake on X.

“San Diego experienced a strong earthquake centered near Julian. There’s no known visible or major damage to the city so far and I’m in communication with local, state, and federal officials,” he said.

According to NBC San Diego, San Diego State University reported no injuries or damage.

The school sent out an alert at 10:42 a.m. PT to let everyone know that classes and tests will still take place on campus.

When the ground began to move, Capt. Thomas Shoots of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for San Diego County ensured that schoolchildren were taken outside of buildings as a precaution.

“There was a lot of shaking and rattling around,” he said. “But thankfully everything seems to be back to normal.”

Riley Ozuna, owner of the Julian Cafe & Bakery, said some cups fell onto the ground at her business. “But everything is OK,” she said.

Due to the earthquake, Metrolink OC canceled OC Line 608 and closed the lines between Oceanside and San Clemente for preventative track inspections.
