Initial reports said the quake had a magnitude of 4.7 in the Highland Park area near Pasadena, Los Angeles, but the U.S. Geological Survey later revised that down to 4.4.
The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAPD) said it was inspecting infrastructure, apartment complexes, power lines and large nearby properties, including Dodger Stadium, to ensure no damage was caused by the quake.
The Los Angeles Police Department warned nearby residents to “prepare for aftershocks.”
After the earthquake, the Los Angeles Police Department took to social media to remind the public to call 9-1-1 “for emergencies only.”
Monday was the first day of school for students in the Los Angeles Unified School District, the second-largest school district in the United States. No injuries were reported.
