“Before the Rowland Heights-based 4.1 on Saturday afternoon, the largest aftershock from the earthquake was a magnitude-3.6 that struck around 9:30 p.m., according to USGS. Another larger one with a magnitude of 3.4 hit Saturday morning.
Caltech seismologist Dr. Kate Hutton said the number of incidents was expected for an earthquake of that magnitude.

The epicenter was not “on an obvious fault,” Hutton added.
Seismologists said that there was also a 5 percent chance that it was a precursor to a bigger quake
