LOS ANGELES—A 4.4 magnitude earthquake was strongly felt Monday afternoon from the Los Angeles area all the way to San Diego, swaying buildings, rattling dishes and setting off car alarms, but no major damage or injuries were immediately reported.

Monday’s quake was centered near the Los Angeles neighborhood of Highland Park, about 6.5 miles northeast of Los Angeles’ City Hall, and about 7.5 miles below the surface, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
