3.8-magnitude earthquake felt across Palm Springs

We've have a break from the recent round of quakes. But the news is reporting this evening that: "A magnitude 3.8 earthquake hit the Borrego Springs area on Thursday afternoon. There were no reports of damage from the small quake, which struck 22 miles southeast of La Quinta and 31 miles south of Palm Springs. It occurred at 4:56 p.m. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake was felt across the Palm Springs area and part of San Diego County." The left-hand column of this Web page has the link to the USGS site. Miss Penny Lane says: A resident recently placed earthquake preparedness material in the Palermo clubhouse. Prepare yourself.

I like to donate the canned foods from my earthquake kit to food drives at this time of year and replenish mine with new ones.
