This is one of several earthquakes to hit the area in recent weeks, the largest of which happened on Sept. 12 and occurred at a magnitude of 4.7. Just a few days later, a 3.6 magnitude quake shook the area

As of 3:30 p.m. there have been no reports of damage or injury as a result of the shake. 

Some people as far as South Los Angeles reported feeling the earthquake, per the USGS's "Did You Feel It?" report.
