The quake had a depth of 20.1 miles and struck at 3:40 p.m. The quake set high rise buildings in Riverside, Los Angeles and San Diego rocking back and forth. It also was felt in Palm Springs...

A magnitude-5.1 earthquake struck the Imperial area at 4:15 p.m. At 4:09 p.m., a magnitude-4.5 quake was reported about 21 miles south of Ocotillo.

A Granada Hills resident said things started to settle after about one minute.

"But it seemed like forever," he added.

The quake was felt for about 40 seconds in Tijuana, Mexico, causing buildings to sway and knocking out power in parts of the city. The Associated Press reported that families celebrating Easter ran out of the homes, with children screaming and crying.
