A shallow 4.5 magnitude earthquake occurred about 24 miles northeast of Paso Robles at about 12:35 a.m. Monday, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Several residents in both Paso Robles and Atascadero said the shaking was strong enough to wake them up.

Today’s temblor was the first larger than 3.0 earthquake on the Central Coast in the past seven days.
