Video credit: @pofpalmsprings A security camera in Palm Springs, originally set up to catch a male cat spraying, ended up recording a different kind of surprise — a 5.2 magnitude earthquake that struck Southern California on April 14, 2025. The footage shows the moment the quake hits a pool bar area, with visible shaking as the tremor ripples through. The quake’s epicenter was located 29 miles east of Escondido, delivering moderate shaking near the source and light tremors felt by over 25 million people across the region — from San Diego up to Los Angeles. This incident highlights how everyday home tech can unexpectedly become tools for documenting natural events. Fortunately, no major damage or injuries have been reported so far. Update: Officials continue to monitor the area for aftershocks. Residents are advised to check their emergency supplies and stay informed through local alerts.
