The initial quake
was recorded 29 km (18 miles) west southwest of the town of
Hawthorne at 12:18 a.m. followed by an aftershock of 5.7
magnitude four minutes later near the same location, according
to the USGS website.
Initially measured at a magnitude of 5.8, it struck at a depth
of about 19 km, the USGS said.
A series of aftershocks ranged in magnitude from 2.7 to 5.6, the
USGS said.
"Ok. I'm up now. That last earthquake aftershock rocked my bed
and window blinds," a Twitter user named Amilee wrote.
There were no initial reports of damage or casualties.
