A 4.3 earthquake in the water, just south of Bombay Beach, was registered by the US Geological Survey this morning. The shallow quakes were centered in an area where the San Andreas Fault enters the Salton Sea.

There were three small earthquakes at 4:38 a.m before the largest shock, these measured 2.6, 2.8, and 3.3 in magnitude with the largest temblor measured, occurring at 7:31 a.m. at a depth of 1.49 miles. This was quickly followed by a cluster of 2.7, 2.5, 2.7, 2.9 and 3.0 quakes.

No reports of damage or injuries have been made at this time..
