LOS ANGELES — An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.9, followed by 3.5 and 2.7 aftershocks, struck near the desert city of Barstow just after 1 p.m. Monday but was felt as far west as the Los Angeles area, including in Burbank and Pasadena.

"It was quick rolling and a bump," one Burbank resident said. "Felt like a truck."

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries in the LA area, and the Los Angeles Fire Department said it has not been placed on earthquake mode.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the initial rumble struck just after 1 p.m. It was centered about 13.6 miles east northeast of Barstow — about 115 miles northeast of Los Angeles — and was at a depth of seven kilometers.

The first aftershock of 3.5 hit at 1:03 p.m., the USGS said. Two minutes later, a second aftershock of 2.7 was also reported near Barstow.

There was no damage reported in the Barstow area, according to media reports.

"An M4.9 (current estimate) east of Barstow," seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones posted on X. "We have seen quakes this size many times in the Mojave Desert."

She added, "This location is near the Calico fault — which crosses the Mojave. It is more than 50 km from the San Andreas fault, so it will not change the probability of a San Andreas earthquake."
