An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.9 sent a ripple of light shaking through the San Fernando Valley, hitting close to North Hollywood at approximately 10:13 p.m. on Oscar Sunday, according to FOXLA. The quake, which was felt from Oxnard to San Clemente and even parts of the Inland Empire, including Ontario, Riverside, and Corona, did not prompt the Los Angeles Fire Department to declare an "Earthquake Mode".
The U.S. Geological Survey reported the epicenter to be about 1.4 miles east-southeast of North Hollywood and 1.7 miles north of Universal City.
The response from the community was varied, with more than 8,000 people reporting the experience of the earthquake through the USGS' "Did You Feel It?" service. A North Hollywood resident, as captured in the CBS Los Angeles interview, described the moment saying, "I heard some noise, and after the ground was shaking very hard. ... I was very, like, chill, but we were surprised. We kept drinking and enjoying our night."
