5.2 quake shakes Los Angeles, no damage reported

An earthquake northwest of Los Angeles shook a large swath of southern California on Tuesday night, but there were no immediate reports of damage.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 5.2 magnitude temblor struck at 9:09 p.m. and was centered near Mettler, about 85 miles from downtown Los Angeles.

The earthquake was felt at Dodger Stadium in the middle of the seventh inning of a baseball game between the Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies, but the quake garnered no discernable reaction from the crowd.

The Kern County Fire Department said in a social media post that firefighters in the area would survey their districts.
