The mainshock occurred at 19h and 18 m (UT) and was located about 26 miles SSW of Bakersfield or 13 miles west of Wheeler Ridge California. The depth of the earthquake was about 6 km. The earthquake had a thrust faulting focal mechanisms with a nodal plane striking N68°W and dipping 63° and a second nodal plane striking N112°W and dipping 36° The thrust faulting mechanisms means that the region is under north-south compression. So far the mainshock has been followed by 25 aftershocks, with the largest of magnitude 2.7.<\/p>\n

The previous moderate-sized earthquake in the area was a ML4.3 that occurred on 14 February 2004 and was located 11 miles WNW of Wheeler Ridge.<\/p>\n
