Magnitude 4.4 earthquake felt in Los Angeles

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.

Magnitude 4.4 earthquake felt in Los Angeles

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.

Earthquakes of magnitudes 4 to 5 generally bring light shaking and very light to no damage.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Despite the mild intensity of future earthquakes, they could still be strongly felt among us in Los Angeles due to their proximity to the city. In the aftermath of such seismic activity, the community effort to rebuild and support each other will be crucial for us.
