Earthquake detected near Los Angeles amid Hurricane Hilary landfall

Sheesh: if Hurricane Hilary making landfall in Baja California to Los Angeles’ southeast wasn’t enough, a minor earthquake was detected to the city’s northwest just hours before kickoff between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers.

Initially rated a 5.5 on the Richter scale, the earthquake was later downgraded to 5.0, with official channels announcing that there is no tsunami threat for the city while it manages street flooding from Hilary’s rainfall.

Reporters at the scene say the earthquake’s tremors were felt in the press box at SoFi Stadium. One act of nature wasn’t enough for the NFL to cancel this exhibition game, and it doesn’t appear a second will be, either. But stay tuned for updates.
