Small Earthquakes Rumble Through Los AngelesA magnitude-3.7 earthquake rumbled through much of the Los Angeles area Sunday morning and was followed by a series of smaller aftershocks.There were no reports of damage or injuries from the temblors. The shaking was felt from Compton 25 miles north to the San Fernando Valley. The first quake struck at 8:27 a.m. and was centered four miles southeast of Inglewood and nine miles south of the Los Angeles Civic Center. It was followed at 8:29 a.m. by a magnitude-3.0 aftershock centered just a mile away. The aftershock was one of at least six recorded. One, a magnitude-2.8 temblor, struck at 9:21 a.m. in an area one mile north of the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone, the U.S. Geological Survey said. USGS seismologist Sue Hough said the earthquakes were all related and could be followed by more seismic activity. |
