Scientists say a magnitude 5.4 earthquake erupted 13 miles north-northwest of Borrego Springs at 4:53 p.m., shaking all of San Diego County hard and rattling windows as far away as northern Los Angeles County. The quake began 7.3 miles deep and follows a series of smaller quakes in that area in recent weeks, including a 4.9 near Coyote Creek on June 13. Seismologists initially listed today's quake at 5.9 but quickly downgraded it to 5.4.
