Map: 3.6 earthquake in San Diego County

A 3.6 earthquake was recorded Monday afternoon in eastern San Diego County.

The quake, at 2:35 p.m., was centered in Anza Borrego Desert State Park 14 miles east of Julian, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Early reports to the USGS Did You Feel It website indicate it was felt across the San Diego metro area; on the west shore of the Salton Sea; and as far north as Murrieta, in Riverside County.

The epicenter, in the Vallecito Mountains, is at the south end of the Elsinore fault zone. In January, the county’s biggest quake since 2012 — magnitude 4.1 — was recorded on the Elsinore in Palomar Mountain State Park, 30 miles to the northwest.
