An earthquake struck the El Segundo area and was felt across the Southland.

A 3.2-magnitude earthquake struck the El Segundo area Wednesday.

The small earthquake hit at 5:08 p.m. Residents in Culver City, Westwood, Sherman Oaks and Venice reported feeling shaking from the earthquake.

The quake, which was first reported as a 3.4 but later downgraded, was centered 2.5 miles north-northwest of El Segundo and 2.6 miles west-southwest of Inglewood. LAX tweeted that there was no damage reported immediately at the airport, but crews were checking the airfield and facilities as a precaution.
