A shallow 4.1 magnitude earthquake in Templeton rattled northern San Luis Obispo County on Tuesday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Shortly before 10 a.m., the quake knocked items from shelves and shook houses in Templeton, Paso Robles and Atascadero. The 3.5 mile deep earthquake was located next to West Highway 46 near Highway 101.

Several residents in both Paso Robles and Templeton said the shaking was strong enough to knock items from shelves.

I felt it in Morro Bay while having coffee near the round-about. Heard the boom then the jolt while sitting on a wobbly chair. I checked the floor which was a concrete slab. Next, I downloaded the earthquake app onto my phone and sure enough I wasn’t imagining. posted by the USGS was 4.3, Templeton, 13 miles from my location. Amazing and it continues to post seismic activity from around the globe.
