More earthquakes have hit a remote area of eastern California The U.S. Geological Survey says four quakes — magnitude 3.0, 4.5, 3.0 and 3.1 — hit between about midnight and Saturday morning.

An Inyo County sheriff's dispatcher said no damage or injuries have been reported.

Friday night a magnitude-5.2 quake occurred at a very shallow depth, and was preceded by tremors of 4.7 and 4.9 in a six-minute span, according to the USGS. Early Thursday, a magnitude-5 earthquake struck the same area. Dozens of mostly tiny aftershocks followed.

The quakes' epicenters were just southeast of the Owens Valley town of Lone Pine, about 180 miles north of Los Angeles.
