Los Angeles, Jul 6, 2019, SPA -- A fire official says there were no fatalities or major injuries in Ridgecrest, California, after the 7.1 magnitudes earthquake on Friday night. Kern County Fire Chief David Witt also said Saturday there were no major building collapses but some structures could be weakened from the back-to-back quakes. Friday's quake occurred a day after a magnitude 6.4 quake hit in the same area of the Mojave Desert about 150 miles from Los Angeles, according to AP. Witt says there were some power outages and minor gas and water leaks in Ridgecrest, but no known damage outside the area. He urged residents to get supplies ready in case another quake hits. -- SPA 20:42 LOCAL TIME 17:42 GMT 0009 www.spa.gov.sa/w1132397
