A magnitude 4.4 earthquake struck near Los Angeles, awakening
residents but causing no apparent damage in the second largest US
city, the US Geological Survey and witnesses said.
Police at the epicentre of Pico Rivera, 18 km southeast of downtown
Los Angeles, said there were no immediate reports of injuries or
damage from the light quake.
It hit at 4:04 am local time and lasted a few seconds, rousing many
from their beds and prompting local television stations to issue
bulletins.
The quake was at a depth of nearly 18 km on the Whittier
fault.
Home to 10 million people, Los Angeles County had its last strong
earthquake in Northridge in 1994, which killed some 60 people.
