LOS ANGELES (CBS) — The short and sudden jolt felt across the southland Thursday sent Twitter users into a tizzy, tweeting about the magnitude 4.3 earthquake.

Here is what Angelenos had to say:
Yoshi831:"I live just down the road, nothing too crazy, all is good"
UrbanDecay411: "ummm.. earthquake? Or effects from staying out last night??
Mark Gonzales: " WE'RE GONNA DIEEEEEE!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (my impression from someone from the east coast experiencing an earthquake)"

Here on CBSLA.com, viewers have been telling us about what they felt from Woodland Hills to Studio City and the Moreno Valley.

German C: "Felt it down by the 5 and 110 freeways."
Anabelle Felix: "I felt like a strong jolt here in the office, but that was it. Just another Thursday afternoon for Angelenos.."
Aly: "Yes, we felt it very strong in Granada Hills. I was in my office and thought it was a big truck passing by our street but then it got stronger and stronger. It didn't just roll, it really rattled the windows. I'm still a little shaky!"
Steve: "We felt it in Santa Monica, just a little shaking in our 5th floor office – enough to make the hanging lights swing back and forth for a short time. Hope that's it for the next several years………….."
