Several earthquakes struck near Pomona and La Verne in Southern California on Thursday morning.

The U.S. Geological Survey said that a 3.7-magnitude quake hit just southwest of La Verne, with a depth of 1.7 miles. Other quakes struck nearby.

At least 600 people reported feeling the quake in the area, reported the Los Angeles Times.

“Never have I ever gotten out of bed so quickly at like 5 am, well I’m going to be on time for school!” tweeted Ashley Sibrian.

“It was pretty crazy. We felt the first one, it wasn’t too bad,” said Elizabeth Price, a Starbucks employee, told KTLA. “The aftershock was worse. It shook us pretty good, but nothing fell.”

Residents in La Verne, Upland, Pomona, and Diamond Bar told ABC-7 that they felt the quake.

There were no reports of damage or injuries.
