A Series Of Earthquakes Strike The Region

UPDATE at 11:06 a.m.: The USGS is reporting a series of earthquakes struck the region Monday morning.

The largest temblor measured a magnitude-4.7 and rattled Anza and the surrounding Coachella Valley, parts of Riverside, San Diego and Los Angeles counties today, but there were no immediate reports of any damage or injuries.

The quake hit around 9:55 a.m. and was centered 12 east-southeast of Anza, about 14 miles southwest of La Quinta and 16 south-southwest of Palm Desert, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The temblor was followed by a series of smaller aftershocks shortly after 10 a.m., according to the USGS, as well as a quake that preceded today's larger event: a magnitude-2.5 that struck near Pine Valley in East County San Diego at around 9:36 a.m.

Riverside County sheriff's Cpl. Angel Ramos said deputies received several alarm calls from residences and businesses, but no injuries were reported. No power outages were reported, according to Southern California Edison.

The larger quake was initially reported as a magnitude-5.2, but was repeatedly downgraded as more accurate measurements became available.
