A small earthquake struck a rural corner of San Diego County on Tuesday morning.

The preliminary-magnitude 3.4 temblor, which had a depth of around four miles, was recorded near Palomar Mountain at 6 a.m., according to the United States Geological Survey.

The epicenter was located about 14 miles northeast of Ramona in an area near Lake Henshaw.

Reports on the USGS “Did You Feel It?” map showed light shaking could be felt throughout inland North County and as far south as Spring Valley.
