Earthquake in L.A. – 3.9 magnitude

A minor earthquake has rattled Southern California, shaking buildings in downtown Los Angeles.

The US Geological Survey says the 3.9 magnitude quake struck at 8:24 a.m. Sunday and was centered about 5 miles east-southeast of Santa Clarita, Calif.

Shaking was felt across the Santa Clarita Valley, in downtown Los Angeles and in West Hollywood.

I am, of course in L.A. for the day and lucky me – we have an earthquake. No damage has been reported though. More wine!
