Multiple aftershocks ranging between 2.5-magnitude and 3.0-magnitude followed the initial quake.

There was no official word regarding major structural damage or possible injuries.

Per the USGS site, the earthquake was felt as far away as Los Angeles County.

Gov. Newsom's office tweeted that he "has been briefed on the earthquake in San Diego County. The state is coordinating with local authorities to assess any damage and if emergency response is needed."

ABC 10News reporter Laura Acevedo went to Julian to get reactions from the residents closest to the tremors. She spoke to the manager at a liquor store, where several bottles came tumbling off the shelves during the shaking, leaving shattered glass on the ground.

"Like I said, my first thought was just like... hands over head, and I was staying in the bathroom for like a good 10 seconds," says Dylan Carneiro, the manager of Mountain Spirit Liquor.

A few businesses away, the pictures on the wall were still crooked from the shake.

Angela Barrios was working at the deli inside the Julian Market when the earthquake struck. The jolt was so powerful that it knocked out their Wi-fi.

"A lot of his antique vintage Coke bottles fell and broke, some of the wines fell off the shelves here," Barrios says.

Over at the Miner's Diner, the owner and manager were talking about a timely topic when the shaking started.

"I know it sound insane, but we were actually talking about our earthquake insurance policy for some reason," the diner's owner said. "Since I've been here since 2001, we've never... I've never felt one like this because it was only three miles away."

As of Monday afternoon, there were no reports yet of extensive damage out of Julian, aside from some broken bottles of alcohol.
