Earthquake Rocks Los Angeles

An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 rocked Los Angeles today, with the powerful tremor felt across the city.

The quake struck near the town of Trona, around 120 miles north of LA, shortly after 2.20am on Thursday, according to United States Geological Survey data.

The tremor was felt throughout the downtown area and was strong enough to activate the state’s alert system, which detects ‘significant’ quakes.

An average of 25 earthquakes with magnitudes between 4.0 and 5.0 occur per year in California and Nevada, according to a recent three year data sample.
