BARSTOW — A small quake rattled the Mojave Desert on Sunday but no damage or injuries were reported, authorities said.
The magnitude 3.3 temblor hit just after 8 p.m. and was centered six miles east-northeast of Barstow, said seismologist Lisa Wald of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
The quake was an aftershock to the 7.5-magnitude Landers and 6.6-magnitude Big Bear quakes that shook Southern California on June 28, Wald said.
Dorothea Jaramillo, a police dispatcher, said no one reported damage or injuries in the city about 90 miles east of Los Angeles.
