Another earthquake rocks Southern California, reigniting fears of the ‘Big One’

Another earthquake and a series of aftershocks rocked Southern California overnight Wednesday.

The 4.2-magnitude quake struck only 6 miles northeast of Indio shortly after midnight, the same area jolted by a 4.9 temblor on Monday.

Just half an hour after Wednesday’s quake, the USGS detected a 2.5 aftershock in Coachella Valley.

There have been no reports of injuries or damage.

On Tuesday, aftershocks ranging from 2.8 to 3.6 magnitudes rattled the region, part of a relentless wave of 16 quakes that struck Southern California in less than 24 hours, reigniting fears that the “Big One” could soon rip through the area.
