【美国新闻速递】洛杉矶讯
根据美国地质调查局(USGS)的调查,4月5日(周一)清晨,洛杉矶南湾地区105号高速公路以北发生了4.0级地震。
地震发生在凌晨4:44,在伦诺克斯(Lennox)东北1英里处和英格尔伍德(Inglewood)东南2英里处。
美国地质调查局表示,震中位于好莱坞公园赌场附近的西世纪大道以南。 地震的初步深度为11.8英里。
地震初期震级为4.1,后被USGS降级至4.0。
This morning's wake-up call was widely felt in the greater Los Angeles area. Unusually deep at ~20 km. Odds are high that nothing bigger will happen, but every felt quake is a reminder that California is earthquake country. https://t.co/C7Xsn51CKy

洛杉矶市长加贾西提(Eric Garcetti)发推文称,目前没有立即发生伤亡报告。
美国地质调查局指出,此次地震的影响范围远至洛杉矶北兰开斯特,橙郡东部拉古纳尼格尔,圣伯纳丁诺郡库卡蒙格牧场以及文图拉。尽管发生更大地震的可能性不高,但每次地震都提醒着加州是地震州。
地震专家琼斯(Lucy Jones)博士说,地震发动很深,可能不在任何测绘的断层线上。
The M4.0 that just happened was under Lennox, CA, near Inglewood. Very deep at 20 km, so everyone is at least 20 km away. Would have been felt by most people awake in LA. Movement was thrust, probably not on any mapped fault https://t.co/UIPbVH0kw5
