Did you feel it?

If you noticed the quake, you can submit a report through the USGS Felt Report form.

Earthquakes last week

Over the last week, 27 tremors of magnitude 2.5 or higher have been detected in the area. The largest one was a 4.9 earthquake that was registered in the same region four days earlier.

What to know about earthquakes

Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake, the U. S. Geological Survey says. It replaces the old Richter scale. Quakes between 2.5 and 5.4 magnitude are often felt but rarely cause much damage, according to Michigan Tech. Earthquakes below 2.5 magnitude are seldom felt by most people.

Earthquakes' sudden, rapid shaking can cause fires, tsunamis, landslides or avalanches. They can happen anywhere, but are most common in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Puerto Rico and Washington, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

It is estimated that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause damage.

What to do during an earthquake

If an earthquake strikes, it's best to protect yourself right away. Here are tips from experts:

If you're in a car: Pull over and stop. Set your parking brake.

If you're in bed: Turn face-down and cover your head with a pillow.

If you're outdoors: Stay away from buildings. Don't go inside.

If you're inside: Stay and don't run outdoors. Stay away from doorways.

The best way to protect yourself during an earthquake is to drop, cover and hold on, officials say. "Wherever you are, drop down to your hands and knees and hold onto something sturdy," officials say. "If you're using a wheelchair or walker with a seat, make sure your wheels are locked and remain seated until the shaking stops." Be sure to cover your head and neck with your arms, and crawl under a sturdy table if possible. If no shelter is available, crawl to an interior wall away from windows. Once under a table, officials say you should hold on with one hand and be ready to move with it.

"There can be serious hazards after an earthquake, such as damage to the building, leaking gas and water lines, or downed power lines," officials say. "Expect aftershocks to follow the main shock of an earthquake. Be ready to Drop, Cover, and Hold On if you feel an aftershock."

What is Floating Points Sunflower Sound System?

Inside a dome tent acoustically-treated with paneling made from mycelium, and decorated with stunning tapestries and original artwork commissioned by DJ and artist Josephine Chime, the meticulously crafted audiophile’s dream features 10 unique stacks assembled and positioned to create an immersive, unparalleled sonic experience. Floating Points and several special guests will DJ at Sunflower Sound System the entire weekend."

Goldenvoice first debuted 'trip' model with Desert Trip

This is the latest iteration in Goldenvoice's fall "trip" festival model, which features a smaller lineup of bigger artists on one stage with no overlapping sets.

It all started in October 2016 when, for two weekends at the Empire Polo Club, Desert Trip festival featured a once-in-a-lifetime lineup of Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, The Who and Roger Waters, who took to the Indio stage and made the Coachella Valley the temporary center of the rock 'n' roll universe.

Each day featured two of the artists — an opener and a closer. Demand for tickets was so high that a second weekend was quickly added.

Ten years later, the Rolling Stones hit pause on future tour plans, and The Who performed what was said to be its final show last year at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert.

Metal-themed Power Trip attracted an international audience

When Power Trip, the second "trip" model festival, was announced in 2023, metal and hard rock fans were pumped about the lineup of Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Tool and Metallica. The biggest highlights were the return of Osbourne, the return of AC/DC after a seven-year hiatus, and the first show with frontman Brian Johnson since 2016. However, Osbourne had to cancel and was replaced by Judas Priest.

AC/DC's performance emerged as the high point of the weekend. The band opened for the first time ever with the song "If you Want Blood (You Got It)." By the fifth song, "Thunderstruck," the crowd was headbanging, dancing, and singing along.

Metallica closed out the festival with an electrifying set that began with the banger "Whiplash" from the 1983 album "Kill 'Em All" and then two from its sophomore album, "Ride the Lightning," starting with "Creeping Death." The band closed the book on Power Trip with "One" and "Master of Puppets."

In 2021, the City of Indio approved a decades-long extension of the development agreement between the city and Goldenvoice LLC, the company that has put on the festival since 1999. The agreement confirms that the Empire Polo Club will continue to host the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival until at least 2050.

Goldenvoice LLC and Coachella Music Festival LLC requested an amendment to the development agreement with the city in order to extend their term a total of 37 years. It includes the original 17-year agreement and an additional 20-year term.

The amendment to the development agreement continues to authorize five annual major music festival events, with no more than three events held over consecutive weekends, and with the same attendance of 125,000 people as is currently permitted.
