More than 20 earthquakes rumbled across the Salton Sea area Tuesday morning, the strongest measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale. That one hit just before 5 a.m., centered about three miles south of Bombay Beach on the east side of the Salton Sea. That earthquake was followed by at least 23 smaller aftershocks. In Pasadena, scientists are trying to determine if that "swarm of quakes" could be setting the stage for a far more powerful temblor.
