February 14, 2010 | 5:25 pm

Minor earthquakes struck to the north and south of Southern California on Sunday. The most recent was a magnitude 4.1 shaker, centered five miles northeast of Coso Junction, about 141 miles north of Los Angeles, at 4:07 p.m.

No reports of injuries or damage had come in to dispatchers for the Inyo County Sheriff’s Department. A dispatcher, in his office about 50 miles to the north of the epicenter, said he didn’t feel anything.

But San Diego County residents did feel a 4.5 magnitude temblor that struck Baja California about 1:35 p.m. That quake was centered about 20 miles south of Tecate, Mexico. Three subsequent aftershocks were measured within the next hour.

The Associated Press reported that police and fire officials in El Cajon, Escondido and Kearny Mesa received no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
