Did you feel the magnitude-5.8 quake that hit central California?

by in News

LOS ANGELES — Some Southern California residents felt light shaking Wednesday thanks to an 5.8-magnitude earthquake that rattled the Lone Pine area in Inyo County.

The temblor, originally reported with a 6.1 magnitude, struck at 10:40 a.m.

There were reports of light shaking being felt in the San Fernando Valley, West Los Angeles and even as far south as Orange County.

There were no immediate reports of any local damages or injuries.

Seismologist Lucy Jones said the Wednesday morning quake in the Owens Valley came two days after a magnitude-4.6 shaker in the same area.

Aftershocks to the 10:40 a.m. quake included a magnitude-3.4 quake at 10:45 a.m., a magnitude-4.6 temblor at 10:59 a.m. and two magnitude-2.6 shakers at 11:05 and 11:10 a.m. A magnitude-3.7 quake followed at 11:20 a.m.

A magnitude-3.3 hit at 11:25 a.m., followed by a 3.0 at 11:26 a.m., and a 2.6 at 11:27 a.m.

A nearby area have also been hit with small quakes.

Additional quakes have also struck north of Olancha, California — and near Lone Pine. A magnitude-2.8 hit at 10:11 a.m., followed by a magnitude-2.9 at 10:47 a.m., and a magnitude-3.1 at 11:14 a.m.
