More than a dozen aftershocks took place following the main quake, including one measuring 4.5 magnitude, and another one at 4.1, both located in the same area as the main quake.
There continue to be tremors in the Grapevine area, which is between Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles, and Kern County, the USGS reported.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office tells KABC7 Los Angeles there were no reports of damage in LA County so far. The LA Fire Department, however, is in earthquake mode.
