The area of Redlands in California was shaken by a series of 18 earthquakes today, but no damage was reported according to the Los Angeles Times Blog.
“Most of them were small, so they wouldn’t have been felt,” said Paul Caruso, a geophysicist with the agency's National Earthquake Information Center.
Most of the 18 earthquakes were reported to be of a magnitude of 2.0, but four of them registered at 3.0. The strongest one was measured to be 3.4 at 11:53 am.
“These are pretty small, but people will see them,” Caruso said. “They’ll see their chandeliers sway back and forth. Or if they have a pool, they might see waves, that sort of thing.”

Every time i read earthquake I hope it is just a minor one.
So far most have remained minor. Sadly Haiti seems already almost forgotten just like New-Orleans after Katrina.

Updated live local report regarding the Recent Earthquake swarm near the Greater Los Angeles Area, Calif.
http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Anim/la.htmlIn the San Bernardino County, the quakes have been increasing. As of last week, I experienced the first multiple earthquake swarm which started hitting during the beginning of the week, and built up to a 4.1 magnitude last Saturday 2010 02 13 at 01:39:06 local.
I was one mile from the epicenter, near the Redlands Community Hospital, in the San Timoteo Canyon.
Today, at 11:56:23 I felt the rumbling build up, to an intense boom. The building shook and we jumped to the doorway. This was the 3.6 that hit at 11:56:23. We hope it is, in fact, an aftershock from the previous 4.1.
According the to www.usgs.gov there have been a series of quakes all along the San Andreas fault line.
Including a 4.5 magnitude 2 miles SSW of Ocotillo, CA and one 4.1 north of Ridgecrest, California.
Locally reporting from Redlands, California: still no confirmed damage.

I'd be worried if I lived anywhere along that line.
