Another aftershock of the damaging July 8 earthquake shook the Palm Springs area and a separate temblor hit near San Bernardino, but neither caused injuries or damage, authorities said. The aftershock centered about 11 miles northwest of Palm Springs measured 3.0 on the Richter scale, while a 2.7 quake hit about 16 miles east of San Bernardino, said Dennis Meredith, a spokesman for the Caltech Seismology Laboratory in Pasadena. The Palm Springs temblor was another in the hundreds of aftershocks that have followed a 5.9 shaker in July around the desert resort, he said.
