Talk about a case of the Mondays: Los Angeles got an early start to the day when an earthquake rattled the city.
Seismologists estimate the earthquake was magnitude 4.4, which already dropped from 4.7 — enough to cause mild to moderate shaking. So far, there have been no reports of damage or even power outages. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, except for Hollywood's sleep schedule.

It's cute how Los Angeles just tried to one-up the snow in New York with an earthquake as if anywhere but the Northeast matters.
