5.0 quake rattles greater Los Angeles

A 5.0 quake with an epicenter just south of Hollywood Park, Inglewood rattled the greater Los Angeles area at 8:39pm local time Sunday, May 17.
The quake, felt across the entire Los Angeles area, is one of the larger quakes in recent times, and the closest quake to the center of Los Angeles itself.
At the time of writing there were no reports of injuries or damage. More when we have it.
Update: reports say it was felt as far South as Long Beach.
Update 2: Twitter reports near the epic center describe it the earthquake as “intense” suggesting it may have been a shallow quake.

I'm surprised that the quake was felt all the way to Mexico. That's quite a wide area.
Thank goodness it was only around a 5.0 magnitude.
