Quake hits Mojave Desert in Southern Calif.

1 hour ago

LUDLOW, Calif. (AP) — A moderate earthquake struck California's Mojave Desert on Friday night and could be felt from San Diego to Los Angeles.

The 5.1-magnitude temblor struck just outside Ludlow on Interstate 40 in San Bernardino County, about 120 miles east of Los Angeles, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The initial reports measured the quake at 5.5-magnitude.

There were no immediate reports of damage.

"The ground was rolling underneath but it was very light. Nothing," said Jeremy Chestnut, 20, who works at a Dairy Queen in Ludlow. "I was standing in front of an ice cream machine and it makes the ground shake, too."

USGS geophysicist Rafael Abreu said the closest fault is the Lavic Lake Fault, in the Calico-Hidalgo fault zone, which is part of the San Andreas Fault region.

He said the movement is related to the gradual movement of the Pacific plate against the North American plate along a strike slip fault that crosses California.

The quake "is relatively shallow and if it were located in a more populated area it could be very damaging," USGS seismologist Richard Buckmaster said. "But it's out in the middle of the desert, in the middle of nowhere."

Kelly Ghiloni, a spokeswoman with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in Joshua Tree, said she felt shaking for about 15 seconds but saw no major damage.

"There was some shaking, a little bit of rattling," Ghiloni said. "It was enough to wake you up and know there was an earthquake."

KCDZ-FM news director Gary Daigneault said he felt the shake in Twentynine Palms, about 40 miles south of Ludlow.

"It was a rolling motion," he said. "It was a pretty good ride."

The quake was just a few miles from where a 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit in 1999.

musta been Rap Quake flowing...

[Teddy Roosevelt]

I felt a small tremor, but I thought someone had just entered my house and was making a lot of noise. This freaked me out because I all the doors were locked and I was in the shower. I had to creep out of the bathroom ninja style. When I didn't see any killers or filmmakers filming a horror movie I just shrugged it off.

The last 5 days, theres been alot of earthquake's around the US and some parts of Asia. Some say the big one is headed our way between Dec 10th-20th

what do you mean by a lot of earthquakes?  you mean quakes of significant magnitude? cause theres ALWAYS earthquakes in the ring of fire..just most of the time theyre not big enough to be felt..

[Low Key]

I'll take -30 degree weather over an earthquake any day of the week. Thankfully, the fault line in Minnesota is one of the quietest in America.

[Sikotic™]

Maybe because I've been through them since I was a kid, but earthquakes don't bother me that much. Plus, it keeps a lot of people from wanting to move to California so I'm happy about that.
