If you live on the westside in LA, and you're burning the midnight oil, that jolt at 2:17AM was a 3.6 magnitude quake with an epicenter in the Santa Monica Bay.

This one wasn't all that crazy, but there was a quick burst that must have woken a lot of people up. Anyway, no cause for alarm. Go back to bed.
