A mild earthquake registering 3.7 on the Richter scale, which shook an area west of Palm Springs, was the latest in a series of thousands of aftershocks from a destructive quake last summer, the Caltech seismological laboratory reported. The quake was centered 11 miles east of Banning in the San Gorgonio Pass area, Caltech spokesman Robert Finn said. There were no reports of injury or damage. “We felt just a slight shaking,” Palm Springs Police Officer Rose Bennett said. “It didn’t last long and didn’t do any harm.” A 5.9 quake centered in Desert Hot Springs on July 8 injured 29 people and caused $5 million in damage.
