Initial reports indicated that no injuries or damage had been observed. Perette Godwin, a spokeswoman for the city, assured that the situation is being actively monitored. The San Diego Sheriff's Office echoed these sentiments, stating they had not received any injury or major damage reports but emphasized that the situation remains "developing." Following the quake, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recorded several aftershocks in the region.
In the wake of the earthquake, California Governor Gavin Newsom was briefed on the incident with updates shared via social media platforms. While a tsunami warning was deemed unnecessary by the National Weather Service, preliminary alerts did advise residents from as far away as Los Angeles to take shelter.
San Diego resident Kevin Manaugh reported that he received an emergency alert while enjoying breakfast, allowing him to seek safety beneath a door frame. He described the jolt as potentially the strongest quake he has experienced throughout his life in San Diego. The tremor lasted approximately three seconds, leaving Manaugh and others shaken but unharmed.
Though his home showed no signs of damage, Manaugh is considering the purchase of an evacuation bag, reflecting on the increased natural disaster risks in the region, including the recent wildfires in Los Angeles.
