The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the quake hit about 360 miles south of the California Border, but office workers in San Diego were evacuated from various high-rise buildings due to the temblor.
According to the USGS, prior to the 6.9 earthquake, they believe a swarm of quakes hit between the 5.0 and 5.9 range.
