LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A magnitude-5.4 earthquake has struck just east of Los Angeles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake's epicenter was about 2 miles southwest of Chino Hills and about 5 miles southeast of Diamond Bar, the USGS said. Chino Hills is about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
The center was about 7.6 miles deep. In general, earthquakes centered closer to the Earth's surface produce stronger shaking and can cause more damage than those further underground.
A 5.8 magnitude quake is considered by the USGS to be "moderate," which can cause slight damage to buildings and others structures. About 500 can happen globally each year, the survey says.
According to the USGS archives, it's the biggest California earthquake since September 28, 2004, when a 6.0 quake was recorded south of Parkfield, which is about 70 miles northwest of Bakersfield.
"It's too early to tell if there's any major damage but all units are checking overpasses, bridges and tall buildings," Anaheim Police Sgt. Ken Seymour told The Los Angeles Times.
"I can tell you that we had a good-sized shake here in the bureau," said CNN Los Angeles Bureau Chief Pete Janos. "It started slowly. It continued on, shaking the bureau pretty well. ... Right now we're just sort of assessing the situation. Nothing fell off the walls ... but there definitely was a shake."
Janos said he has lived in southern California for about 12 years. "I can tell you this is probably the best one we have had," he said.
He said the quake "picked up steam. At its height, the building was doing some good swaying back and forth." He estimated the quake lasted no longer than about 20 seconds.
"We could definitely feel it on the third floor," said Kara Finnstrom, who was in Hollywood. "That feeling where you scramble to get under something because you know it's large enough -- you wonder what's going to happen next."

CNN's Ed Lavandera was at Disneyland in Anaheim, southeast of Los Angeles, with his family and felt the tremor. He said the shaking lasted about 5 seconds. VideoWatch a reporter describe the shaking at Disneyland »
CNN affiliate KABC is reporting that Disneyland's rides have been evacuated.
Lavandera was standing in line for a ride when he saw the ride's top "shaking back and forth."
You could hear the metal kind of clanging around, and the ride was just ending, so for a moment ... I thought maybe something was wrong with the ride. Then I realized the ride had already stopped moving and the ground was still moving," he said. Did you feel the quake?
iReporter Danny Casler, 28, of Huntington Beach, California, was woken by the earthquake. He had his wisdom teeth removed last week and was at home recuperating from the surgery.
"Everything in the house was shifting back and forth," he said.
Casler said he ran outside, where other neighbors had gathered. "My house was like a fun house," he said. "Everything was moving."
There were no immediate reports of injury or damage in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey told The Associated Press. San Bernardino County fire dispatch did not have reports of damage, AP said.
The quake was predicted to occur, according a study sponsored by the USGS published in Science Daily in April. The study had predicted there was a 99 percent chance of California having a magnitude 6.7 of larger within the next 30 years.

I just can't help myself renny has made herself out to be THE MOST HYSTERICAL person to watch this season! And after her headstand BDay antics on top of the impressions she has grown on me tremendously!
If she keeps doing what she is doing she may just pull out a F2! Notice she stays low profile when there is a HUGE gathering. voices her REAL opinions to keesha when the time is right. and even though she despises Jesse she has managed to let him think she's over it. I think she's playing a very smart game right now. She's basically off the radar!
I hope BB does do something special tonight for her Bday. SHE DESERVES IT!!
Hey Production DO YOU HEAR ME!!! (:;)

It's becoming obvious to me that Keesha is jealous of Angie because the guys think she's the best looking woman in the house. Having been a Hooters girl, Keesha is used to the attention and now that Angie is getting attention, Keesha doesn't like it and is acting like a baby.
That's the threat to Keesha. The longer Angie stays in the house,the more Keesha will be ignored. Not only is this catty, but it goes back to middle school behavior. Hopefully, the Gang of 8 will somehow convince Keesha to vote out Jessie as he is constantly annoying and then Angie wins HoH, puts up Keesha and Libra/Big Boss Man as revenge, has Keesha go out, and the house will be entertaining. It probably won't happen, but I can dream.

I think Keesha's issue with Angie is actually that angie is wearing Steven's bandana around her wrist and that in it's self is what Keesha has taken personal. Keesha can't let that go. and if Angie wanted to save herself she would stop doing it. I think angie just needs to figure it out and come to Keesha and say listen not today but maybe somewhere in the game we can work together. it has happened before on Allstars when Jannelle and Erica?(i forgot her name) finally teamed up to go against will and boogie. They both have Memphis in common. And Memphis would love to get rid of Jessie because Jesse is his only real physical threat. keesha won't go to Angie, Angie has to go to her. But then again, Angie needs to campain to then HG's not Keesha since THEY are the ones who vote!
