BRAWLEY, CA - Video from YouTube shows a family reacting to the violent shaking of one of several earthquakes that hit California Sunday afternoon.

CNN reports that a swarm of earthquakes did a fair amount of damage in Brawley, California, but did little damage overall.

The action was caught as a family recorded a home video in Brawley. Two younger children react with fear and tears, while a teenage boy stands up to get the full effect of the earthquake's shaking.

The earthquakes were centered east of San Diego, just north of the U.S./Mexico border.

Most of the temblors were low-intensity; the strongest measured at a magnitude of 5.5.

No injuries were reported.

Seismologists expect thousand more earthquakes over the next several days.
