Magnitude-3.9 quake shakes buildings across Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES — A small earthquake has rattled the greater Los Angeles area, shaking buildings and waking residents. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey says an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.9 hit at 4:07 a.m. Sunday. It was centered a mile northwest of the View Park-Windsor Hills neighborhood, just north of the cities of Inglewood and Culver City.
It was the second earthquake in less than a month along the Newport-Inglewood fault. A magnitude-3.5 quake hit the same area on April 12.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said early Sunday that it briefly went into "earthquake mode." The alert was lifted after its helicopters surveyed more than 470 square miles in the area and all 106 fire stations conducted safety checks.

No injuries reported after earthquake rattles Michigan
By Jennifer Dixon and Gina Damron, Detroit Free Press 8:53 p.m. EDT May 2, 2015
No injuries or damages were reported today after a magnitude 4.2 earthquake rattled Michigan and surrounding states shortly after noon.
John Bellini, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo., said the earthquake's epicenter was about 5 miles south of Galesburg, or 9 miles southeast of Kalamazoo in central Michigan.
He said the earthquake at 12:23 p.m. could be felt widely across lower portions of the state and into northern Indiana, northwestern Ohio, eastern Illinois, southeastern Wisconsin, and western Ontario.
Gov. Rick Snyder's office said there were no immediate reports of damages or injuries.
"It is rare for Michigan to experience earthquakes," Snyder said in a statement, "but as we were reminded today, it does happen." State officials, he said, continue to monitor the situation.
Bellini said Michigan has had only one other earthquake of this magnitude, a 4.6 earthquake that shook the state in August 1947. Its epicenter was close to today's — about 30 miles to the southeast.

He said earthquakes of this magnitude are capable of causing minor damages, such as knocking items from shelves, cracking plaster or windows, or damaging brickwork or chimneys on older buildings. Earthquakes tend to cause major damage beginning at a magnitude of 5.
Bellini said that Michigan does not have a lot of active faults and is not near any plate boundaries. He said most of the earthquakes that happen east of the Rockies are on faults that are poorly studied, very small and underground.
He said that between 1973 and 2012, the state has had only two other recorded earthquakes — one in the western reaches of the Upper Peninsula, the other in central Michigan. He said dates for those quakes were not available.
He said he would not be surprised if Michigan has no aftershocks, or a few small ones that would not be felt.
On social media, Michigan residents reported feeling the Earth shake in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor and Troy.
Comments on Twitter included: "felt the earth shake in Livonia. Don't need to experience that ever again," "felt the building shake at metro airport" and "Kalamazoo shook hard!"
David Fletcher, who lives in Lawton, about 30 miles from Galesburg, said he was in his kitchen when he felt the ground shake.
"Went outside to make sure the apocalypse wasn't beginning," he said. "Then came to the conclusion it was an earthquake. I immediately posted on Facebook. Because, well that's the rule these days."
Scott Brown of Albion said that "it almost seemed like a vehicle was crashing into the house." He said his children knew what he was talking about when he said to get in a doorway.
"I guess they teach what to do in school," Brown said. "They remembered."
Residents reported that they felt it last for a few seconds. Some say their house shook; others said it startled their pets. We've compiled some tweets of their accounts below. (View on mobile)

I'm waiting for a big increase in Colorado earthquakes due to fracking. They tell me on tv, that it's safe. I have Missouri ancestry. Show me.
