5.8 earthquake hits L.A.

Earthquake rocks Los Angeles - CNN.com

Sounds like it wasn't too bad, though. Thankfully!

The center was about 7.6 miles deep. In general, earthquakes centered closer to the Earth's surface produce stronger shaking and can cause more damage than those further underground.

A 5.8 magnitude quake is considered by the USGS to be "moderate," which can cause slight damage to buildings and others structures. About 500 can happen globally each year, the survey says.
