Earthquake Rattles Southern California
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
LOS ANGELES — A moderately strong earthquake shook Southern California on
Tuesday, swaying buildings and tossing food off grocery store shelves for
about 20 seconds. There were no immediate reports of major injuries or
structural damage.
The quake, estimated at 5.4 magnitude (reduced from an initial estimate
of 5.8), was centered 35 east of downtown Los Angeles in Chino Hills,
just south of Pomona in San Bernardino county. It was felt as far east as
Las Vegas and as far south as San Diego.
Cellphone lines were jammed throughout the region as people began to
frantically make calls in the immediate moments after the powerful jolt.
