(Worthy News) – A 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck beneath Los Angeles on Monday, occurring just days after a larger tremor shook much of Southern California.
The earthquake initially registered as a magnitude 4.7 when it struck at 12:20 p.m. local time, centered about 2.5 miles southeast of Highland Park, a neighborhood in northeastern Los Angeles. The U.S. Geological Survey later revised the preliminary measurement down to a magnitude 4.4.
Last Tuesday, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake and subsequent aftershocks hit farmland approximately 90 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Although the damage was minimal, it prompted the fire department to activate earthquake mode at all 106 stations. Over the past week, this region has experienced over 400 tremors following the initial 5.2 magnitude quake.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the quake was felt from the L.A. basin to San Diego and Ventura.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have allowed illegal immigrants to use the state’s taxpayer funded home down payment equity exchange program that would have provided up to $150,000 to qualifying illegal immigrant homebuyers. Newsom’s veto cited the program’s “finite funding,” which received no money this year and ran out of funding in 11 days last year, and the state’s budget situation, which required the cutting, shifting, and deferral of spending by $47 billion this year.
