More than 50 aftershocks from San Bernardino County earthquake
There have been more than 50 aftershocks since a magnitude 4.4 earthquake rattled Southern California on Tuesday evening.
The largest of the aftershocks has measured magnitude 3.8, but most were too small to be felt. U.S. Geological Survey scientist Lucy Jones said on Twitter on Wednesday that that number of aftershocks was normal for a 4.4 quake.

Maps by the USGS showed the quake was felt across a large swath of the region. It was most strongly felt in San Bernardino County.
