Magnitude-4.7 Malibu Earthquake Shakes Southern California





Early Thursday morning, an earthquake struck near Malibu, shaking much of Southern California. The quake, initially reported as a magnitude 5.1, was later downgraded to 4.7. It occurred at 7:28 a.m., with a depth of approximately seven miles. Shaking was felt in a wide range of areas including Malibu, Hermosa Beach, La Mirada, Anaheim, Santa Monica, the Hollywood Hills, and parts of the San Fernando Valley.

Aftershocks ranging from 1.8 to 3.4 in magnitude have followed the quake, with more expected in the coming hours and days. Fortunately, there have been no reports of significant damage or injuries so far.

Standard safety protocols have been put in place, such as slowing down the trains on the Los Angeles Metro system to check for any potential damage. This is a routine procedure whenever an earthquake occurs.

Southern California has experienced several recent earthquakes, including a magnitude 5.2 quake near Bakersfield. Though none have caused major damage, seismologists like Dr. Lucy Jones emphasize that these events are a reminder that the quiet seismic activity of the last few decades is not necessarily a long-term trend.

Evacuation warnings and orders remain in effect as the region stays on alert for potential aftershocks. Residents are encouraged to stay prepared and aware of their surroundings as Southern California continues to experience tremors.
