A Marathon spokesperson confirmed that the torches, which are “safety devices,” are “working as intended,” the Los Angeles Times reported.

Although no major injuries or damage were reported, those who felt the earthquake were still shaken.

Carson resident Deshaun Harris said the quake shook his car “crazy.”

“If you can rock a 4,000-pound car, that’s a problem,” Harris said.

Hundreds of reactions poured in after news of the earthquake was posted on KTLA’s Facebook page, with one user describing the earthquake as “terrifying.”

“I literally heard it was coming,” they wrote. “The house was rumbling for 10 seconds.”

Another user doubted that even the initial strength of 4.4 was high enough, adding that they thought the earthquake “was much bigger.”

Moment size 4.3. The focal mechanism shows a sliding blow at a depth of 15 km.
