A magnitude 3.2 earthquake was reported Friday morning before 1 a.m. in Long Beach, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake occurred less than a mile from Signal Hill and three miles from Carson about 12:44 a.m., the USGS reported.
“It felt like something hit my house real quick,” one user on X said.
A Times reporter in Long Beach said it woke her up and terrified her pet cat, which hid under a dining room table. Some picture frames also fell from a wall and the shaking knocked over a computer monitor, she said.
There were no immediate reports of damage in the surrounding area.
The earthquake occurred at a depth of 7.6 miles. Did you feel this earthquake? Consider reporting what you felt to the USGS here.
