The earthquake started at around 10:30 a.m. local time and lasted for at least 30 seconds. Up to this point, there have been no reports of any loss of life during the incident, although local authorities have responded to a ton of emergency calls.
The quake was the largest in Southern California since 1999 when a 7.1 Hector Mine quake struck the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base.
According to authorities, the center of the earthquake was located in an area that's far from the populated city of Los Angeles. They said they will continue to gather information in order to see if there were any casualties during the brief incident.
