Los Angeles residents east of the city center felt the earth stir beneath them Monday, as two magnitude-2.8 earthquakes were reported by the U.S. Geological Survey. With their epicenters traced to the South Pasadena and Monterey Park areas, these tremors, while mild, were notably felt across several communities at approximately 10 a.m., according to NBC Los Angeles.

The shaking reached neighborhoods including Alhambra, Pasadena, and Montebello, and extended into other portions, of the San Gabriel Valley. As reported by ABC7, the tremors were also felt at their Glendale studios, emphasizing the widespread nature of the event.

CBS Los Angeles detailed the quake's reach, suggesting that residents from Compton to Glendale and West Hollywood to Altadena may have felt the earth's rumble. It happened near the California State University Los Angeles campus, drawing attention to the centrality of these movements within a bustling metropolitan landscape.

Despite the disturbances, ABC7 confirmed that there have been no immediate reports of damage or injuries due to the quakes. The depth of the seismic activity was about 6 miles, which lends to the surface area potentially affected by these geologic shifts.
