Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- A magnitude 4.4 earthquake rattled Southern California early Tuesday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake's epicenter was 11 miles east-southeast of the Los Angeles Civic Center, the USGS reported. It struck at 4:04 a.m. PT (7:04 a.m. ET).

Although the temblor was centered 11 miles below the Earth's surface, according to USGS, the movement was enough to awaken some Southern Californians.
