Los Angeles Earthquake 2010

Ok kids I slept right through this one but here is some new we had on the earthquake early this morning.

An earthquake in Southern California early today woke residents from their slumber. The quake, with a 4.4 magnitude according to the US Geological Survey, may only have caused minor damage but at a time when severe earthquakes such as in Haiti and Chile, have been in the news, caused a major scare.
It struck just before 4 a.m. about one mile away from Pico Rivera. Jessica Sigala, a USGS geophysicist, said that an earthquake of that magnitude in an area where buildings are designed to bear minor quakes would only cause very minimal damage, with maybe the odd broken window, or books shaken off shelves.
One Arcadia poster wrote that the quake knocked him out of bed, whilst another person only felt a short sharp jolt adding that if they’d been not been awake they probably wouldn’t have noticed at all. The last major quake in California was in 1994 which killed 72 people and was a much stronger magnitude of 6.7.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department said they had not received any immediate reports of damage. For more details on this go to ABC News. Were you woken by the quake or do you know anybody who was?
