Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- A magnitude 4.4 earthquake rattled
Southern California early Tuesday morning, according to the U.S.
Geological Survey.
The quake's epicenter was 11 miles east-southeast of the Los Angeles
Civic Center, the USGS reported. It struck at 4:04 a.m. PT (7:04 a.m.
ET).
Although the temblor was centered 11 miles below the Earth's surface,
according to USGS, the movement was enough to awaken some Southern
Californians.
