WLS 890 Chicago is reporting a preliminary 5.8 magnitude earthquake
that
hit the
greater Los Angeles area at 1842Z.


It was a 5.4 and really is what is called a small quake.

Yep, since you have a GED I guess I'll just have to take your word on that
one.

No, take the word of the director of the USGS. She spent the afternoon
explaining that this was a minor quake, with about 2% of the energy of the
1/14/94 Northridge event.
