A 5.8 magnitude earthquake hit California around 10:45 a.m. local time Wednesday.
The epicenter was near Cartoga, about 180 miles north of Los Angeles.
People at several businesses near Lone Pine and Bishop told ABC News the while the shaking was "intense," they didn't see any damage.
Several rockslides were reported in Inyo County.
Some shaking was felt in LA.
This comes a day after a 7.4 magnitude quake hit Mexico, near the resort of Huatulco, killing at least six people and damaging hundreds of homes, according to The Associated Press. At least six others were hurt, including two people in Mexico City, more than 300 miles from the epicenter.

That the one. It has many more and more dense reporting stations than the usual quakes. Also it isn’t that far from the China Lake quake area.
How far is it from Cartago to Pixley, CA. I might add trips to those two California towns to my bucket list. /s
Don't EVEN think of such a thing.
Baja FreePublic, right?
I’m not sure, never heard of Pixley. This is a very rural area cut of from central California by the 14,000 Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.
Not nearly as far as it is to Crabwell Corners.
yeah, that is true
Unfortunately we need a 10.0 quake in every liberal city that last for several days.
it is now cartoga... the memo went out yesterday...
make a note.
Pretty country on the back route to Mammoth or Tahoe. When you hit Bishop don’t forget to stock up on Jerky/ Bacon at Mahogany Smoke Meats. They make an amazing fresh Deli Sandwich as well.
President Reagan stopped by there once, and then ordered their jerky via mail order for a number of years.
The fault line movement coming up the line from the major earthquake in southern Mexico yesterday. LA? Let the looting begin will be phrase of the day.
Isn’t Crystal Geyser water bottled there? I saw the plant the last time we visited Lone Pine.
We used to car camp a lot in the Eastern Sierra, before they widened 395. My wife’s favorite spot was on the East bank of the Owens river, just below the crossing at Taboose creek.
Yes, in nearby Olancha, also a tiny town, if you could call it that. Settlement might be a better word.
earthquakes are caused by white people
Nowhere near Northridge, which is within the city of LA. I didnt feel it and Im not that far from Northridge.

Earthquake in Mexico, now in California? Seems like there will be quakes farther up the Pacific coast soon. Washington?
