The epicenter was near Ridgequest, which is maybe a third of the way from
Bakersfield to Las Vegas as the proverbial crow flies. It's a little closer
to LA than Fresno, but both are far enough that we only felt a little.
No apparent damage in LA. Our destruction is delayed yet again.
to quote the LA City PIOs who were questioned as to why
there were no official cellphone alerts:

The #ShakeAlertLA app only sends alerts if shaking is 5.0+ in LA County.
Epicenter was 6.4 in Kern County, @USGS confirms LAâs shaking was below
4.5. We hear you and will lower the alert threshold with @USGS_ShakeAlert
