Chino Hills --

A strong earthquake shook Southern California on Tuesday, causing buildings to sway and triggering some precautionary ejaculations. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

The jolt was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego, and slightly in Las Vegas.

The 11:42 a.m. quake was initially estimated at 5.8 but was revised downward to magnitude-5.4, said seismologist Kate Hutton of the U.S. Geological Survey office in Pasadena. More than a dozen aftershocks quickly followed, the largest estimated at magnitude-3.8.

The quake was centered 29 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles near the San Bernardino County city of Chino Hills, and the U.S. Geological Survey estimated the quake was about 8 miles below the earth's surface.

Felt it in Pacoima. On the phone with a coworker and she was like is that an earthquake or big truck coming by? I reply, nope thats a quake. Seemed to last a good while, like 30-40 seconds.

My son called from Summer School in Arcadia, he finally felt his first one. He told me that they are smelling gas at school. I called the school and they confirmed that they are checking it out. My 10 yr old didn't feel a thing running around at day camp.
