LOS ANGELES (AP) — A small earthquake has rattled the greater Los Angeles area, shaking buildings and waking residents. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey says an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.9 hit at 4:07 a.m. Sunday. It was centered a mile northwest of the View Park-Windsor Hills neighborhood, just north of the cities of Inglewood and Culver City.
A magnitude-3.5 earthquake hit the same area on April 12.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement early Sunday that it briefly went into "earthquake mode." The alert was lifted after fire officials surveyed more than 470 square miles in the Los Angeles area and conducted safety checks.

Sheesh, I never knew there WAS a Concord fault. Hayward fault yes, Concord no.
& recommend!!
It's known as the Green Valley fault on the northern end, and it let loose in 1893, causing extensive damage in Vacaville and Winters, and I live in that area.
Felt like the cat jumped on the bed but she was already there, at Venice Blvd & the 10. Little boom noise (the cat doesn't go boom).
