Tuesday’s earthquake was the most recent to strike California and was felt as far away as Los Angeles.

A magnitude 5.2 earthquake followed by dozens of aftershocks rocked the San Joaquin Valley starting late Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Service said, jangling nerves as Southern Californians prepared for bedtime.

The initial quake was centered in Lamont, California, about 21 miles from Bakersfield, California. It struck at about 9:09 p.m. PST. No injuries or damage were immediately reported.

That quake was followed by dozens of aftershocks ranging from 2.5 to 4.5 magnitudes. As of Wednesday morning U.S. Geological Survey reported 57 earthquakes in the region.

Tuesday’s earthquake was the most recent to strike California and was felt as far away as Los Angeles, about 104 miles southeast. Many residents in the region received an emergency warning on their cell phones a few seconds before the quake hit.

A 3.3-magnitude earthquake centered on the west side of the Salton Sea was felt in parts of Southern California. On July 29, a magnitude 4.9 earthquake centered 14 miles northeast of Barstow, California, rattled the high desert and parts of Southern California.
