A second earthquake hit California at about 9 p.m. July 5, with a magnitude of 7.1.
Reports say the earthquake’s center was near Ridgecrest and felt in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Some were at a Los Angeles Dodgers game when the earthquake hit, or at a Pelicans Summer League Game against the New York Knicks. Many were at a Shawn Mendez concert. Others were on Facebook live. Still others were on the Millennium Falcon at Disneyland.
The earthquake caused a rock slide on Highway 178 and appeared to seriously damage the highway. The road was closed between Bakersfield and Lake Isabella.
Several fires also ignited after the fire. A large fire broke out in a mobile home park.
Also see photos and videos from the July 4 earthquake here.
