An earthquake northwest of Los Angeles shook a large swath of Southern California on Tuesday night, but there were no immediate reports of damage.

 

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck at 9:09 p.m. and was centered near Mettler, an unincorporated area in Kern County about 85 miles (137 kilometers) from downtown Los Angeles.

 

The earthquake was felt at Dodger Stadium in the middle of the seventh inning of a baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies. Still, the quake garnered no discernable reaction from the crowd.

Makayla Skinner Says She's Receiving Death Threats; Asks Simone Biles to Put a Stop to It

 

After the US Olympic gymnastics team was selected, Skinner - a former Olympian- made some rude comments about this year's team not having talent or work ethic. So when the team won gold, Simone Biles took to Twitter with a picture of the team and captioned it "lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions" as a dig at Skinner's comments. Skinner then blocked Biles and the social media rage from fans escalated to the point that Skinner says she's receiving death threats over it and is asking Biles to put a stop to it as a champion for mental health.

TROPICAL STORM DEBBIE MAKES LANDFALL; PROVES DEADLY

 

Tropical Storm Debby was moving slowly along a path over the southeastern United States on Tuesday, bringing torrential downpours across parts of Georgia and South Carolina that could break or tie rainfall records in both states, forecasters said.

 

Debby first hit land Monday morning as a Category 1 hurricane over Florida's Big Bend coast and left a trail of inundation in its wake despite weakening shortly after landfall.

 

Debby is expected to produce potentially historic rainfall totals of 10 to 20 inches, with maximum amounts of 25 inches, bringing areas of catastrophic flooding across portions of southeast Georgia, the eastern half of South Carolina, and southeast North Carolina through Friday.
