L.A. residents rush to Twitter to get earthquake news

Just felt an earthquake here in downtown Los Angeles. Did you feel it from where you are?

Southern California felt a 3.5-ish temblor tonight. Naturally, L.A. residents shook up Twitter to report the news–and to search for more details on who else felt it and how to cope.

On Twitter we all say "Earthquake!" On FB, everybody is asking, "Earthquake?" It really is a slower group over there.

Twitter has confirmed, it was an earthquake. I hope my neighbors know their stomping is equivalent to an earthquake felt all over LA.
