The quake also hit four miles west-southwest of Culver City and five miles north-northwest of El Segundo.
The 3.1 magnitude quake shook buildings and startled residents and workers in the cities.

Another user said that she felt the quake six floors up at the Water Garden in Santa Monica. “Sharp jolt, like a truck had hit the building.”
