Seismologist: 1 in 20 chance of larger quake in LAMay 18, 5:05 AM (ET)

By CHRISTOPHER WEBER

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Seismologists are warning Los Angeles-area residents to expect more aftershocks after a moderate earthquake shattered glass, rattled nerves and sent at least one person to the hospital.

Sunday night's magnitude-4.7 quake was centered about 10 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and three miles east of Los Angeles International Airport, according to a preliminary report by the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was followed by at least five smaller aftershocks, with the largest registering at magnitude-3.1. USGS seismologist Susan Hough said there would likely be more aftershocks in the "threes, maybe a four," and there was a 5 percent chance of a larger quake. "People should be on their toes," she said. The quake jiggled the greater Los Angeles region for about 10 to 15 seconds and was felt as far south as San Diego, Hough said. "This was a serious jolt," she said.
