5.1 Aftershock Causes No Damage
Aftershocks rumbled through a remote area near the California-Nevada border Wednesday, two days after a magnitude 6.0 earthquake in the region. No injuries or damage were reported.
The largest aftershock, magnitude 5.1, struck at 7:13 a.m. about 36 miles south-southeast of Bishop, said Heather Lovasz, a spokeswoman for Caltech in Pasadena.
The temblor was the largest of more than 200 aftershocks from Monday’s quake. Measurable aftershocks will be recorded for at least another week, said Caltech seismologist Kate Hutton.
