The quake, classified by the US Geological Survey as a "light" earthquake was felt at 4:35 a.m and was centered about ten miles north of the Palomar Observatory and 20 miles east of Temecula.
A CAL FIRE spokesman told San Diego 6 News they've removed fire equipment out of their fire stations and are evaluting if any damage occured to any facilities.
