It hit at around 12:03 AM, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Apparently, the quake struck View Park-Windsor Hills area of the Californian city, which is around nine miles south of Hollywood. It was said that it had a depth of 7.4 miles. Los Angeles International Airport even tweeted that the earthquake had been felt but reported no damage.

Meanwhile, the earthquake quickly became the trending topic on Twitter in the U.S. with Chrissy Teigen among the first to tweet about the ground moving. Other celebs including Cardi B, YouTuber James Charles even tweeted about it. L.A. Lakers player Alex Caruso tweeted: “That was the biggest earthquake I’ve experienced since I’ve lived in LA sheesh.”

While quakes are normal in Los Angeles, it comes at a scary time when people are sheltered in while trying to social-distance to help stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Covid-19 has infected more than 2.5 million people and killed at least 177,000 worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University. Despite that, some states in the country are planning to reopen back up.

Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning to share:

“States are safely coming back. Our Country is starting to OPEN FOR BUSINESS again. Special care is, and always will be, given to our beloved seniors (except me!). Their lives will be better than ever…WE LOVE YOU ALL”
