5.2 magnitude earthquake reported near Bodie, California

A 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck Saturday morning near the historic Sierra Nevada ghost town of Bodie, California.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

The quake happened at 7:36 a.m. southeast of Bodie, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was followed by a series of aftershocks — the vast majority of which were less than 3.0.

Bodie is a remote ghost town near Mono Lake in eastern California — about a six-hour drive from Las Vegas. It’s near the Nevada state line.

What’s left of the town is now Bodie State Historic Park, which closed effective April 7 until further notice due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
