A moderate, 5.1 earthquake struck the Mojave Desert on Friday night along the Lavic Lake Fault, about 120 miles east of Los Angeles.
More than 4,000 people from San Diego to Las Vegas reported feeling the temblor, said Richard Buckmaster, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, which collects earthquake reports on its Web site.
The quake struck a sparsely populated area within San Bernardino County, about 16 miles from Ludlow, the nearest town.
"We've not received any reports of damage or injury, and we don't expect any," Buckmaster said.
