The most recent felt quake, a magnitude 3.8, struck Tuesday afternoon along the Mission Creek strand of the San Andreas Fault. No injuries or significant damage were reported, though shaking was felt across a wide area.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the initial quake triggered a swarm of more than 150 seismic events. Most were very small, but over a dozen reached magnitudes between 2.5 and 4.9, enough to cause light to moderate shaking. Some residents reported feeling the strongest tremor as far as Southern California’s coastal regions. The activity occurred near the site of the annual Coachella music festival, renewing conversations about earthquake preparedness in the region.
