Associated Press – June 3, 2020<\/p>\n
RIDGECREST, Calif. (AP) \u2014 A magnitude 5.5 earthquake has jolted the region of California desert where a powerful quake last summer was followed by thousands of aftershocks.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Geological Survey says Wednesday’s quake hit at a fairly shallow depth shortly after 6:30 p.m. and was centered 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) north of the small city of Ridgecrest.<\/p>\n
A dispatcher with the Ridgecrest Police Department said there were no immediate reports of damage or injury.<\/p>\n
The quake was felt as a bump and rolling motion in a high-rise building in downtown Las Vegas. Local television news broadcasts stopped as anchors reported seeing lights sway in their studios.<\/p>\n
It also shook buildings in downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
A magnitude 7.1 quake on July 5, 2019, and a magnitude 6.4 foreshock the day before strongly shook the region.<\/p>\n
Damage from those quakes occurred to facilities on the sprawling Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake as well as in the nearby communities of Trona and Ridgecrest.<\/p>\n
Seismologist Lucy Jones tweeted that Wednesday’s quake was \u201ca large late aftershock” of last July’s activity. Among the many aftershocks, a handful have reached the magnitude-5 level.<\/p>\n
