A 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit Searles Valley early Friday morning, one of a swarm of hundreds of aftershocks in the wake of Thursday’s massive 6.4 magnitude earthquake in the same area.

A magnitude-5.4 aftershock was felt across Southern California, and it originated from the same area where a 6.4 earthquake shook on July 4.

At least three Ridgecrest homes appeared to have been completely destroyed in the quake.
