Small magnitude 3.6 earthquake 5 miles southeast of Lone Pine, California, United States
3.6 quake 28 Feb 5:46 am (GMT -8)

The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.6 quake in the United States near Lone Pine, Inyo County, California, only 7 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Sunday 28 February 2021 at 5:46 am local time at a very shallow depth of 3.6 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.6 as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Lone Pine (pop. 2,000) located 5 miles from the epicenter.
