About 30 minutes earlier, a 3.3-magnitude earthquake was centered in Lennox, also East of LAX. at around 6 am, a 2.5 earthquake or aftershock was also felt.

Many residents woke up when the main quake hit, though certainly others slept through all three. There were no reports of damages or injuries. Earthquakes are not uncommon in California, which is seismically active.
