S. California hit by 7.1-magnitude quake, strongest in two decades

The shallow quake struck near the small city of Ridgecrest at 8:19 pm , US seismologists said, and follows a 6.4-magnitude quake that hit the same area the day before.

The earthquake was the largest in southern California since 1999 when a 7.1-magnitude quake struck the Twenty nine Palms Marine Corps base, according to The Los Angeles Times. “There has been no loss of life or serious injury that we can directly attribute to the widely felt 8:19 PM earthquake,” LAFD spokesman Brian Humphrey said in the statement.

The shaking stops “for a minute, and then it starts rolling again… it’s pretty bizarre. But now at the moment, I’m not comfortable inside,” said Jessica Kormelink.
