LOS ANGELES - A powerful earthquake jolted Southern California on Thursday, touching off fires and damaging buildings in a desert town northeast of Los Angeles, but authorities said there were only minor injuries.
“However, we feel are going to have the upper hand on this,” Kern County Fire Chief David Witt said at a briefing. “We don’t know the exact number of injuries but so far they have been minor.” Although no injuries had been reported, Breeden said she has asked residents to check on their neighbors, particularly the elderly who make up a significant portion of the town’s population.
The temblor was felt throughout Los Angeles, as far north as Fresno, and as far east as Las Vegas, Nevada. It was even felt south of the border in Mexico, where buildings were evacuated in the towns of Tijuana and Mexicali, according to Baja State officials. “I thought, wow, this is really weird. Am I going crazy?” Schlie said outside the historic TCL Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. “If you’ve never experienced it, you think, Am I out of my mind? Why am I feeling like this?”
