On Sunday afternoon, a magnitude 4.1 earthquake shook the region near Malibu, California, as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The epicenter of the quake was located near Arroyo Sequit Park in the picturesque Santa Monica Mountains, just north of the coastal suburb of Los Angeles.
The earthquake, which occurred just past 1 p.m. local time, was felt significantly in the West San Fernando Valley. Residents reported noticeable shaking, raising concerns about safety and potential damage. Following the initial tremor, the USGS recorded a series of aftershocks, with magnitudes of 3.0 or lower, occurring closer to the ocean.
The USGS's Community Internet Intensity map indicated that the shaking was felt over a wide area, extending as far south as Huntington Beach and reaching up to Santa Barbara in the north. This extensive range highlights the earthquake's impact on the surrounding communities.
This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available regarding the earthquake's effects and any potential aftershocks.
