00:00All right. We continue to follow that breaking news for you here on ABC News Live. A 5.2
00:07magnitude earthquake has been reported in San Diego, California. San Diego police say the
00:13shaking was, quote, very strong, but no damage has been reported. Yet we want to get right to
00:18ABC's Alex Stone, who has the latest for us. Alex, I know that you have been following this moment
00:22to moment. What do we know so far? Hey there, Jay. And we're hearing the same as you mentioned
00:27from San Diego police, but also the San Diego Sheriff's Department and Cal Fire. No major
00:31damage that they know about yet. This was pretty deep, and that would have helped out because it
00:36was so deep, about eight miles under the surface. There was a foreshock, seismologists are telling us
00:42yesterday, that was felt. But it definitely, in San Diego, this 5.2 shook people up. People are
00:48being told that during the time they needed to duck and cover. This guy from Seattle is visiting San
00:55Diego, and he's saying this. It started making funny noises, and everything was moving, like the
01:02blinds and everything. So, and then we heard people going down the stairs, and since we're from out of
01:07state, we figured we should probably leave the building also. We don't get a lot of those up in
01:11Washington. So, yeah, it just, it was interesting. It rocked for a long time, the building did.
01:17Now, to the north here in Los Angeles, we did not feel any major shaking, but the earthquake early
01:23warning system, which is relatively new in California, went off. You can see us, that's me
01:28walking in right there in the middle with our bureau chief, Bonnie, behind me, and our deputy
01:32bureau chief, Matt Claiborne, sitting in his seat. You see us all get under there when the earthquake
01:37early warning system went off, and it was telling us that shaking was coming. We did not feel it here,
01:43Jay, but it does give you the warning now to take cover before those ripples that were being felt
01:49in San Diego County, made it north up into Los Angeles. Now, the LA Fire Department has gone
01:54into what it calls earthquake mode, taking out all of their engines out of the bays in case there
01:59are any aftershocks in this area. They go around, they drive around, make sure there's no damage,
02:04and then they end the earthquake mode, but they're in earthquake mode right now, Jay.
02:08Telling the story even with his own experience in that camera right there in the corner of the
02:12newsroom. Alex, you're a lot taller than I thought you were. Thank you very much for your time.
02:16You got it, thanks, Jay.
