This was a small earthquake. Shaking like this is often felt indoors nearby and very rarely causes damage.
At this magnitude and depth, people at rest would likely notice it out to about 64 km (40 mi) from the epicentre. Estimated from magnitude, depth and distance with the intensity equation USGS Did You Feel It? uses; felt reports, where there are any, are the measurement.
Likely felt in: Lake Elsinore 2 km, intensity IV · Wildomar 8 km, intensity III · Murrieta 16 km, intensity III · Perris 18 km, intensity III · Menifee 20 km, intensity III · Rancho Santa Margarita 24 km, intensity III · Temecula 25 km, intensity III · Mission Viejo 31 km, intensity II. Estimated for each town centre; each link is that town's own record.
How big was it?
This earthquake released about 2.9 tons of TNT. Magnitude is logarithmic: each whole step up releases about 32 times more energy, so a magnitude 4.5 would have released about 32 times as much.

- Around the size people start to feel M 3.0 this one released 6× more
Energy from the Gutenberg–Richter relation (log10E = 1.5M + 4.8), rounded to two figures; bar length is magnitude, which is already a logarithm of energy. Magnitudes of past earthquakes from the USGS catalogue.
