Just 6 minutes ago, a 4.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Indian Wells, Riverside County, California, USA. The tremor was recorded early morning on Saturday, December 31st, 2022, at 4:12 am local time, at a very shallow depth of 1.6 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.2 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.4.
