BREAKING NEWS — A moderate earthquake rocked the Los Angeles region late Sunday that was felt by many people, but there were no immediate reports of any major injuries or damage.
The magnitude-5.0 quake hit at 8:39 p.m. (0339 GMT), about 10 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles, near Inglewood, according to a preliminary report by the U.S. Geological Survey. At least two aftershocks shook the area minutes later, including the largest at magnitude-3.1.
The quake jiggled the greater Los Angeles region and was felt as far south as San Diego, said USGS seismologist Susan Hough.

I was sitting on the floor watching Stargate SG-1 and felt it. It was very mild where I’m at (Ventura County).
