Southern California hit with 5.4 earthquake
LOS ANGELES -- A moderate earthquake jolted Southern California on Wednesday, rattling buildings in downtown Los Angeles, toppling wine bottles at desert resorts and briefly halting rides at Disneyland.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or major damage, although residents across a wide swath of Southern California were spooked by the force of the magnitude-5.4 quake.
It struck at 4:53 p.m. and was centered 28 miles south of Palm Springs, or about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Dozens of aftershocks have been recorded, with the largest measuring magnitude-3.0.
