SoCA desert up for 4.0-5.0+ now through Berkland's upcoming seismic window beginning on the 24th of May to the 31st. Also, holiday time may increase the likelihood.

Dear Kevin,

Seventy-five percent is good. I'll take that. But...I did do some homework and the quake was felt in SoCA desert, such as in Blythe, Brawley, Twentynine Palms (I'm sure there are more--see link for stats on who felt it). Also, it just wasn't felt in Baja, CA (I was 30 miles off). And isn't Calexico, CA southern Ca desert? See below:

Callie, you are most certainly correct. That is a 100% hit for you actually. I didn't think of felt reports. I learned something. GREAT HIT:)
