A powerful earthquake struck the Los Angeles area, sending shockwaves of fear through residents and commuters.
The 4.7 magnitude quake, which was felt across the city, occurred on a typical weekday when people were going about their daily business.
The earthquake was strong enough to rattle buildings and cause minor damage to structures in the surrounding area, but there were no immediate reports of major damage or casualties.
eyewitnesses described the moment the earthquake hit, saying it felt like a strong jolt that shook everything.
I was in my office when the earthquake hit. My desk started shaking and my computer monitor was wobbling back and forth, said one office worker.
Another eyewitness reported seeing objects fall off shelves and books tumble to the ground.
Despite the intensity of the quake, most residents took it in stride and continued with their daily routines as normal.
We are used to earthquakes in LA, so we just rolled with it and kept going, said one local resident.
The earthquake has served as a timely reminder of the importance of earthquake preparedness and the need for residents to have emergency plans in place.
Local authorities have issued a statement reminding residents of the importance of having a disaster plan in place, including having a first aid kit, knowing evacuation routes and having a meeting point in case of separation.
The earthquake has also raised concerns about the state of LA infrastructure, with some calling for more investment in seismic readiness measures.
Residents are advised to stay vigilant and follow any instructions from local authorities in the event of any aftershocks.
In the meantime, life in LA will continue as normal, but with a renewed sense of awareness about the importance of earthquake preparedness.
