An earthquake centered roughly five miles southwest of Corona Wednesday rattled the Inland Empire, but there were no immediate reports of damage.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the 4.1-magnitude temblor occurred at 1:49 p.m. at a subterranean depth of nearly a mile down. The quake was originally reported as a 4.5 magnitude, then reduced to a 4.3, and ultimately to a 4.1.

The quake was felt in Riverside and began with a jolt, followed with moderate shaking for over five seconds. It was felt as far away as West Los Angeles and the Lakewood/Long Beach area.

No alarms sounded in the downtown area, and there were no emergency dispatches connected with the quake.

The Corona Fire Department did not issue any alerts immediately following the shaker.

Several smaller quakes occurred in the same area on Tuesday, including a pair of 2.8-magnitude quakes between roughly 7:30 and 7:40 p.m., and a magnitude 2.5 shaker that struck at about 2 p.m.
