Hoping everyone made it through this ok!
5.4 quake rattles Los Angeles AREA!
It was centered near Chino Hills, about 30 miles east of Los Angeles, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has activated the Office of Emergency Services.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department said it has no immediate reports of injuries.
The Stanley Mosk Courthouse on Grand Avenue has been evacuated as a precautionary measure. Security officials said they expect the building to reopen after one hour.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors were in closed session at the time of the earthquake and did not suspend their meeting.
The quake interrupted a meeting of the Los Angeles City Council, causing the 27-story City Hall to sway just as Councilman Dennis Zine was criticizing a plan to increase trash fees.
"Earthquake! Earthquake! We've got an earthquake," said Zine, as members of the audience began to cry out. "It's still happening."
Orange County also felt shaking.
"It's the first time in my life I actually got under my desk," said Anaheim Police Sgt. Ken Seymour, who has lived in Southern California his whole life.
