The quake was centered around Yucaipa, California, 79 miles (126 km) east of Los Angeles. "My apartment rattled and I had glass fall off a very heavy armoire," Riverside, California resident Raven Lopez Workman told a local television station. "My dogs went insane." Buildings in downtown Los Angeles swayed during the quake, but there were no visible signs of damage, witnesses said. The temblor was the third significant seismic event to occur in California this week, coming two days after a magnitude 7.2 earthquake off the coast of northern California that briefly triggered tsunami warnings and four days after a 5.2 quake shook the desert near Palm Springs. in southern California. A 5.3 magnitude earthquake can cause considerable damage.
