LONE PINE, Calif. — More earthquakes have struck a remote area of
eastern California that has been shaken by a sequence of tremors since
Thursday.
The U.S. Geological Survey says four quakes — magnitude 3.0, 4.5, 3.0
and 3.1 — hit between about midnight and Saturday morning.
An Inyo County sheriff's dispatcher says no damage or injuries have been
reported.
Friday night a magnitude-5.2 quake occurred at a very shallow depth, and
was preceded by tremors of 4.7 and 4.9 in a six-minute span, according
to the USGS. Early Thursday, a magnitude-5 earthquake struck the same
area. Dozens of mostly tiny aftershocks followed.
The quakes' epicenters were just southeast of the Owens Valley town of
Lone Pine, about 180 miles north of Los Angeles.
