A minor earthquake occurred at 8:45:10 PM (PDT) on Sunday, May 17, 2009.
The magnitude 3.1 event occurred 2 km (1 miles) NNW of Hawthorne, CA.
The hypocentral depth is 12 km ( 7 miles).
I saw this on the news. I hope no one was seriously hurt. My family just moved back to Chicago from LA not one day before this happened. Made me count my blessings. Stay safe.
