Anon-earthquake event triggered the USGS ShakeAlert system, which dozens of people across the county reported feeling, despite it not being an earthquake.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) issued a statement via Twitter:

Hi everyone - #ShakeAlert detected a non-earthquake event which triggered our system. Fortunately, no public alerts were sent out. This is a bit of a first time for us because these events happen so rarely. Apologies for any confusion from our previous tweets.

The USGS said they are investigating the cause of the non-earthquake event, and also tweeted they're improving the system:

Around 9:48 a.m. Friday, the USGS reported on its website a preliminary magnitude 4.0 earthquake rattled off the coast of San Clemente. It also added on the site that at least 20 people reported feeling it.

There was a 4.6 in mexico about at Ensenada. A lot of times the navy creates sonic booms off the coast by San Clemente too. They can regularly rumble through the area.

More likely a Rods of the Gods test. But San Diego area would be an odd place for any kind of test.

A simple mistake.
