Earthquake Shakes Los Angeles

Wired: A moderately powerful earthquake struck southern California today. Though originating from the Chino Hills, it shook buildings 30 miles away in Los Angeles.

According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake initially measured 5.8 on the Richter scale -- comparable to the aftershocks of the massive earthquake that hit central China in May.
