Micro-Quake Hits Culver City (CBS)

A micro-quake struck the Baldwin Hills and Culver City areas at 8:33 p.m. Saturday, March 6, 2010, seismologists said Sunday.

A micro-quake with an estimated magnitude of 2.2 struck the Baldwin Hills and Culver City areas at 8:33 p.m. Saturday, seismologists said Sunday.

More than 100 people signed onto the USGS Web site to report feeling the temblor at 8:33 p.m. Most of them were in the area along La Cienega Boulevard between the Santa Monica 10 Freeway and Century Boulevard.

Automated sensors placed the epicenter one mile east of downtown Culver City. That area includes the northern-most trace of the Newport-Inglewood fault, which killed 120 people in the 6.2 magnitude Long Beach earthquake of 1933.
