An earthquake is now rocking the Southern California area. (I'm near Dodger Stadium)
As I post this, the USGS has not yet determined the epicenter so click on the link above for the exact location and magnitude from the USGS.

Here are the maps for California and Los Angeles:

What exactly did you hear?

[ArmstedFragg]

CalFire in San Diego just gave the order to pull all the apparatus out of the bays. It felt like a local 3.0 or so down here, so the number’s going to be substantial if the center’s in the LA area.

[DoughtyOne]

Felt it in Glendale also. I guessed 4.5 to 5.5. It did shake for about ten seconds. It did move things on my desk pretty good.
