No reports of injuries or damages.
The earthquake comes 15 years and one day after the San Simeon earthquake in 2003 that killed two Paso Robles women. The San Simeon earthquake was on Dec. 22, 2003 and struck at 11:15 a.m.
The two women were killed due to a collapsed building in Paso Robles, a city that was greatly affected by the quake.
This is a developing story, we will update this story with more information as soon as we get it.
