International news agencies reported, and the Washington Times reported, that a “very mild” earthquake shook the city of Culver City, Los Angeles County, in the early morning hours of yesterday, Monday , and although the earthquake was mild, it was enough to wake residents.

Reports indicated that a "small" earthquake was detected in Lawndale, which is located closer to the epicenter of the earthquake in the Pacific Ocean. According to information issued by the Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred about 19 kilometers from Rancho Palos Verdes, which is about 50 kilometers from Los Angeles.
