Nerves were frayed and walls were shaken, but little else was damaged in Newport-Mesa Sunday night after a 4.7-magnitude earthquake centered out of Los Angeles County rumbled through Southern California.

Costa Mesa and Newport Beach’s firefighters and police departments saw an uptick in calls immediately following the 8:39 p.m. earthquake, most calling to see what was going on and if everything was OK, officials said.

No damage or power outages were reported from the evening temblor.

The earthquake’s epicenter was 8.5 miles beneath Lennox in an area three miles east of Los Angeles International Airport.
