5.0

We just had the strongest earthquake since I moved out to Los Angeles 6 years ago. It was a 5.0, but it was really brief, only 15 seconds long.

I heard the walls cracking in my room. At first I thought the air pressure was blowing the walls a bit, then realized there was way too much cracking noise to be the wind.

According to the USGS, the earthquake was centered over by the airport in Inglewood. Actually about 3 blocks south of the Hollywood Park horse race track.
