A preliminary 3.6 magnitude earthquake strikes near Lake Henshaw on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2019.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.6 was recorded Tuesday in an unincorporated area near Warner Springs, and light shaking was felt all the way in Otay Mesa.

The temblor struck shortly after 9:20 a.m. roughly 1.2 miles southeast of Lake Henshaw, just off state Route 76, at a depth of about 5.2 miles, according to a computer-generated report from the U.S. Geological Survey.

Reports on the USGS "Did You Feel It?" map showed light shaking could be felt across San Diego County, including Fallbrook, Del Mar and Otay Mesa.

KPBS has created a public safety coverage policy to guide decisions on what stories we prioritize, as well as whose narratives we need to include to tell complete stories that best serve our audiences. This policy was shaped through months of training with the Poynter Institute and feedback from the community. You can read the full policy here.
