The earthquake struck around 12:20 p.m. at a depth of nearly six miles in Highland Park, initially registering as a 4.7 magnitude then downgraded.
No damage or injuries were reported post-earthquake, but the L.A. county and city fire departments activated earthquake mode to assess the region.
Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones mentioned the area's network of buried faults, comparing them to the 1987 Whittier Narrows quake, suggesting complexity and depth.
