It is not known if there are any injuries and what kind of property damage is involved as residents of the Los Angeles metropolitan area brace for the aftershocks that may come as the day moves forward.
Fox News is broadcasting a live video from the Los Angeles International Airport at noon on the West Coast and everything looks normal at LAX. Reporters are describing the scene as “a frightening event.” The rattling quake has been felt from Los Angeles to San Diego and all the way to Las Vegas, Nevada.
There are reports of airport delays in some areas, but LAX is still functioning normally. The Associated Press is reporting that “no damage” has been reported. The San Bernardino fire department also says that there is “no damage” but keep in mind it is very early.
