SoCal Shaken by Indio-Area 4.9 Quake as Aftershocks Persist
A magnitude-4.9 earthquake centered about 12 miles northeast of Indio rattled Southern California Monday evening, with several aftershocks reported (the largest around 3.5 magnitude) and no immediate damage or injuries. USGS had initially listed a higher magnitude before upgrading to 4.9, and officials warned more aftershocks may occur in the coming days, though the chance of a larger quake is small. Millions reportedly received alerts seconds before the quake.
