Approximately 35 earthquakes have shook the area of Westmorland Wednesday in the span of 40 minutes. This was as of around 5:15pm Wednesday.

The swarm happening now south of the Salton Sea, near Westmoreland is over 30 km south of the end of the San Andreas. It is in the Brawley seismic zone, a common source of swarms. So far largest is M4.4. Too far from the San Andreas to change the probability of a quake on it.
