Small earthquake in LA right now 1am

Did anyone in LA feel a small earthquake about 5 minutes ago? I live in Van Nuys and it felt like a magnitude 3 to me. I could hear it rumbling and feel it and it shook my flimsy desk.

Anyone else in LA have the same experience?

It was a 4.5 centered near Chatsworth. Scared the hell out of me (in Brentwood), at least at first.

I'm in Westwood and had no idea what that was but I definitely felt it.

Felt nothing, in Pomona.

Felt it near LAX for sure. Gave my chair a good rumbling. I was also enjoying a nice cigar* at the time which made the moment really funny.

I felt in Brentwood. It only lasted a few seconds.
