A series of small earthquakes rolled through this desert city, but no damage or injuries were reported. The largest of the quakes, which occurred at 7:39 a.m. and registered 3.5, prompted telephone calls from residents, said Police Sgt. David Patino. “We felt that one. It was kind of a rumble. Then we had several people calling us, including my wife,” Patino said. There were no reports of property damage or injuries. The six quakes registered 3.0 to 3.5 and struck between 7:45 p.m. Friday and 7:44 a.m. Saturday, said Robert Finn, spokesman with the Caltech seismology laboratory in Pasadena.
