Earthquake in Palm Springs





It seems there was an earthquake today at 8:41 PDT in Southern California, 20 miles south of Palm Springs. The quake had a force of 5.5 to 5.6 on the Richter scale and originated in the Jacinto fault line. Fortunately, no casualties nor injured.

I was in Palm Springs in November of last year, and took some pictures from near the top of Mount Jacinto. [Tag: ]

And somewhat nearer to the epicenter, from the road between Salton City and Borrego Springs: a view at a part of Anza-Borrego State Park.
