No deaths or critical injuries were reported from the quakes, the largest of which measured magnitudes 5.3 and 5.5. Some buildings were damaged by the quakes, including 20 mobile homes that shifted from their foundations, according to the Imperial County Office of Emergency Services. The office was working with the American Red Cross to set up a shelter for displaced families at the Imperial Valley College gymnasium. The quakes caused scattered power outages, including at Pioneers Memorial Hospital, which lost power for about three hours. Assistant hospital administrator Art Mejia said generators immediately kicked in, but officials decided to evacuate patients in case the facility had suffered structural damage. "We decided to err on the side of caution," he said. Patients in critical condition were transferred to other hospitals in the area or in San Diego and Riverside counties, while others were either discharged or moved across the street to a medical office building.

Earthquake swarm 'classic' activity for Brawley area, USGS says
August 26, 2012 | 4:22 pm
Imperial County was hit by a swarm of earthquakes Sunday — including two measuring at magnitudes greater than 5.0 — but experts said
the activity doesn't mean "the Big One" was next.
The first quake — a magnitude 3.8 temblor — occurred at 10:02 a.m. about three miles northwest of Brawley, and was followed by a series of other quakes in the same general area, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The agency's data have changed throughout the day, but the two largest quakes measured at magnitudes of 5.5 and 5.3.
