3.1 Earthquake Shakes Area Near Joshua Tree

YUCCA VALLEY, Calif. (AP) ― A minor earthquake has shaken the Joshua Tree area, but there is no word of damage or injuries.

Seismologists say the magnitude-3.1 quake struck at 1:40 a.m. Wednesday at a depth of about three miles.

Jessica Sigala of the National Earthquake Information Center says it was centered seven miles west of Joshua Tree and 10 miles northeast of Morongo Valley.

Sigala says she had reports of the quake being felt in Yucca Valley and Crestline.

A San Bernardino County Sheriff's dispatcher says the department has received no reports of damage or injuries.
