California Earthquake Friday Night of 7.1 Magnitude Felt in Mexico

Reports have emerged from California on Friday night that an even bigger, longer-lasting earthquake has trembled. Reports of a 7.1 magnitude earthquake has shaken the Golden State just one day after the 6.4 tremor shook things from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

An earthquake was reported again in the same region halfway between the two large cities, sending notice to residents.

The Los Angeles Times reported at 8:20 p.m. PT that a 7.1-magnitude quake was felt in Ridgecrest, California.

In that area of the epicenter, there have been more than 117 quakes that registered greater than 3.0, according to The Times.

Yes, another #earthquake. Reminder, only use 911 for emergencies. 877-ASK-LAPD for non emergencies in the City of LA. The LAPD will be working with our city partners to ensure everyone’s safety in the City of Los Angeles.

On Thursday, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake shook buildings and rattled neighborhoods from Vegas to L.A.

This story is developing, and updates will be provided as information becomes available.
