An earthquake measuring 3.5 on the Richter scale struck five miles northwest of the Riverside County town of Hemet Thursday, a Caltech spokesman said. “It was not felt here,” said Robert Finn, spokesman for the school’s seismology laboratory in Pasadena. However, residents several miles west of Hemet, in the Lake Elsinore area, said they felt the temblor. Seismologists do not know which fault the quake occurred along, and there was no word of any damage.
