The quake's epicenter was recorded 2.49 miles south of Julian, in San Diego County.
Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones said this earthquake is likely associated with the Elsinore Fault, which is a branch of the larger San Andreas Fault system. Jones said the depth of the quake was about eight miles below the surface of the Earth.
Jones said Sunday's 3.3-magnitude earthquake in the same area was a foreshock to Monday's 5.2-magnitude earthquake.
The quake was felt across Southern California and into Mexico. USGSSan Diego Mayor Todd Gloria wrote on X, "San Diego experienced a strong earthquake centered near Julian. There's no known visible or major damage to the city so far and I'm in communication with local, state, and federal officials. Please report any damage in your communities through Get It Done. sandiego.gov/get-it-done"

Carniero said several bottles inside his store fell off the shelves and caused damage.
Linda Rangel said she was working from her house in Escondido when she felt the heavy shaking. "My instinct was to just leave the building. I don't know if that was the right thing to do, but I didn't have any shoes on," she said. "I left my phone behind. I just got up and ran out." She said there was a lot of creaking, but there wasn't any damage to her home.
