So far, there have not been any reports of injuries or structural damage.
This quake was the second to hit California is as many days. The Los Angeles Times noted that the USGS said another 3.4 magnitude quake hit near Big Pine on Wednesday morning. In addition, there was another quake measuring greater than 3.0 on the Richter scale in the area over the last 10 days.
