A large earthquake has rattled a large swath of Southern California. There are no immediate reports of damage.
The quake measured with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 struck Wednesday morning near the town of Ridgecrest, California, about 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Later, the U.S. Geological Survey downgraded its magnitude to 6.4. People from the desert to the Pacific coast in Southern California reported feeling it, including several Hollywood figures such as Trevor Noah and Ava DuVernary.
"Been living in Los Angeles all my life. That was the longest earthquake I’ve ever experienced. Not jerky. Smooth and rolling. But it was loooong. It was so long I thought for the first time ever 'Is this the big one?'" DuVernay tweeted. "Damn. Respect Mother Nature. She’s the boss.""I’ve lived in Los Angeles for 7+ years and that’s the first time an earthquake actually made me quake," wrote film producer Matt Dentler.
