4.3 earthquake rattles high desert community of Trona
An earthquake gave the high desert a rude wake-up call Thursday morning.
A magnitude-4.3 earthquake struck about 11 miles south of Trona and a little over 50 miles south-southeast of Barstow, at 2:23 a.m. Thursday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The same area was hit by the 6.4 and 7.1 earthquakes in 2019, so Thursday's earthquake gave some people a sense of déjà vu.
Yes I felt it! I am in Littlerock & was sitting on my bed reading when I felt a strong jolt from west to east direction,at the same time my west wall made a faint cracking/settling sound! A few years ago in July I felt the Trona quake & items were moving a bit on my dresser! https://t.co/fdVhVmLO5n

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. But people who happened to be awake at the time felt the shake across Southern California, even as far as Lancaster, Brea, Burbank, and Santa Clarita.
