Earthquake expert Lucy Jones tweeted that the fault is one of the "significant" faults in Los Angeles.

"Not an usual spot for a quake," she said.

It was a shallow shake, with a depth of 8.7 km or 5.4 miles, but more than 2,000 people reported feeling the quake to the USGS website.

People from the westside to the Valley reported feeling a sharp, quick jolt.
