A moderate earthquake, described as “one solid jolt,” rattled the Chino Hills but caused no damage. The earthquake struck at 5:51 a.m. and measured magnitude 3.2, said Robert Finn, spokesman for the Caltech Seismology Lab in Pasadena. Preliminary calculations placed the quake’s epicenter 3 miles west-southwest of Chino, in an area of the Chino Hills about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. The earthquake was felt in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. Worried residents of Chino, Pomona and the unincorporated areas of Chino Hills and Diamond Bar reported feeling the temblor.
