A 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck Southern California around 7:33 p.m. local time Tuesday night, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The quake was centered about three miles north of La Verne, California, in the San Gabriel Valley. The epicenter was located about 25 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
USGS said a 3.4 quake followed a minute later.
The Associated Press reported that the main temblor was widely felt as either a sharp jolt near the epicenter or a rolling motion further away. It shook buildings for several seconds in downtown Los Angeles.

4.4 is a minor quake. Not newsworthy. The End of The World is not near. Classified as "light", there are ten to 15,000 quakes in the 4.0 to 4.9 range a year.
