While there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from the quake, dozens of people reported feeling the quake in La Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage and Indio, and even as far away as San Diego and La Jolla.

A smaller quake jolted eastern Riverside County overnight Monday with a magnitude-2.7 quake recorded at 12:19 a.m. about 4 miles northeast of the Salton Sea community of North Shore.
