LOS ANGELES, California – A 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck late Friday night in the Los Angeles area causing minor damage across parts of Southern California.

The epicenter was near La Hambra just southeast of downtown Los Angeles. KTLA Television said there were reports of ‘rolling’ for 30-40 seconds.

There have been a number of water main breaks across the area. Water bubbled into the road during a KTLA reporter’s live report in Fullerton.

FOX 17’s sister station KTLA in Los Angeles is providing live coverage. CLICK HERE.
