EEK Earthquake now!

[kenny]

At 12:15 LA had a scary earthquake.
No damage or injuries here, but I hope it's not from far away and San Francisco is gone.

As they happen you never know whether it's mild and local, or major but distant.

I hate these things!

Developing story:

A magnitude 4.4 earthquake occurred in Los Angeles late Monday morning, according to the US Geological Survey. The quake had an initial reported intensity of 4.7 but has since been revised down to 4.4.

The shallow quake was only 7.5 miles deep and directly under the populated areas of Los Angeles, so was likely felt widely despite the relatively modest intensity.
