LOS ANGELES (AP) – An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.6 has struck the Los Angeles area, the U.S. Geological Survey said Monday. People reported feeling it strongly across the Los Angeles area. A medical building shook and residents said glasses and dishes rattled in many places. The quake comes less than a week after a 5.2 magnitude temblor hit southern California and was also widely felt in Los Angeles. That quake caused no injuries or major damage. The National Weather Service said a tsunami was not expected. Monday’s quake was centered near the Los Angeles neighborhood of Highland Park, about 7.5 miles (12.1 kilometers) below the surface. 6-5
