This was a fairly significant earthquake, and the largest one I've felt since yesterday's 6.4. I'm about 85 miles from the epicenter. It was another roping,wave like quake, similar to the original. Sloshed my coffee a bit, but nothing more.

A magnitude 5.4 earthquake rattled the Mojave Desert and was felt throughout Southern California early Friday morning.
The quake struck at about 4:07 a.m. and centered about 9.7 miles west of Searles Valley, roughly 10.8 miles north-northeast of Ridgecrest, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Sounds like a fair-sized earthquake.

I used to live in SoCal. It's a pretty active area seismically.
