California earthquake update: Lennox, Los Angeles hit by small series of shakes

People in the Los Angeles, California, area were awoken Monday morning to a small 4.0 magnitude earthquake and a series of foreshocks and tiny aftershocks.

About 4,400 people reported feeling the magnitude 4.0 earthquake that hit Lennox, a town about 15 miles south of Los Angeles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was preceded by magnitude 3.3 and 2.5 earthquakes that hit about 30 minutes before the larger one.

The USGS ranked the 4.0 quake as a “green alert,” meaning there’s a low likelihood of casualties and damages. Even in Lennox, where the earthquake was felt the strongest, people likely only felt a light shaking, according to the USGS.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
