The largest earthquake of the swarm was a magnitude 4.9.

It was felt in San Diego County and Tijuana, according to United States Geological Survey’s Did You Feel It? map.

In a tweet, seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones said: “The swarm happening now south of the Salton Sea, near Westmoreland, is over 30 km south of the end of the San Andreas.

”It is in the Brawley seismic zone, a common source of swarms …. too far from the San Andreas to change the probability of a quake on it.”
