hear of or hear about

How can I write it correctly?
I haven't heard of [about] a earthquake in LA on the news. I don't know what are you talking about?

Either "of" or "about" is OK, but I'd say "about" is usual in this context where I am. "Of" implies somewhat that you have never heard such news. I haven't heard about a n earthquake in LA on the news.
