Today's strong early morning earthquake in Los Angeles has degraded to a magnitude of 4.2 from its initial 4.3. It happened less than a mile from Los Angeles, four miles from Santa Clarita and seven miles from Burbank, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
There were no immediate injuries or significant damage reported as of 5 a.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department said. LAX remains open.
In April, a 3.7 earthquake shook the city. About five earthquakes with magnitudes between 3 and 4 occur each year in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
