Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a tweet that “a 4.0 earthquake in Inglewood shook the L.A. area this morning,” and the Los Angeles Fire Department conducted a survey of the city and “reports no damage.”

Before, two earthquakes with magnitudes of 3.3 and 2.5 jolted the same area around 7:15 a.m. ET.
