Two earthquakes shook the Coachella Valley on Monday night.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, at 10:06 p.m., a quake with a magnitude of 3.6 and an epicenter near Loma Linda began.
About a minute and a half later, a 3.0 earthquake with its epicenter north of Banning shook the Inland Empire a little more.
Banning lies almost directly on the San Andreas Fault, which runs through California.
On Monday afternoon, two 2.5-magnitude earthquakes rattled near Holtville, an Imperial County city that also lies along the fault, according to the USGS.

In a study published March 7, scientists revealed that they had discovered a new fault line, reigniting the conversation of when the "big one" will strike.
