Presumably the federal government is taking care of China Lake and doesn't want anyone to know about it. I don't see why they would invite the press onto a classified weapons research facility just to catalog earthquake damage. When you're a wealthy landowner housing thousands of explosive munitions in an active fault zone, presumably you build it to withstand earthquakes.

But yes, AFAICT from the maps, the epicenter was basically right under China Lake.
