SOUTHLAND : Quake Swarm Hits Salton Sea
A swarm of mild earthquakes struck southeastern California near the Salton Sea early today, but police said the temblors were barely noticed and there were no injuries and no damage.
“We are used to the nice hard ones. We didn’t even feel it. We only got a couple of calls by people wondering if there was an earthquake,” said Shawn David, a dispatcher at the Brawley Police Department.
The swarm included six quakes of magnitude 3 or greater between 3:46 a.m. and 4:36 a.m., said Hall Daily, spokesman for seismologists at the Caltech in Pasadena.
