A microquake with an estimated magnitude of 2.2 jolted residents from Inglewood to Claremont at 8:33 p.m. Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake was centered about two miles east of Culver City in the Baldwin Hills area, said Paul Caruso, a geophysicist at the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo.
More than 100 people in southwest Los Angeles, Inglewood, Culver City, Claremont and other areas contacted the USGS to report feeling the sharp jolt. No damage was reported.
The epicenter was near the northern end of the Newport-Inglewood fault, which on land extends for about 46 miles from Newport Beach to Culver City. The Newport-Inglewood fault produced the magnitude 6.4 Long Beach earthquake in 1933, which killed 120 people.
