Malibu Earthquake



A 3.8 magnitude earthquake hit the coast of Southern California on Sunday morning near Malibu.

The earthquake happened at around 2:29 a.m. local time in the Pacific Ocean, about 12 miles from Malibu and about 36 miles from Ventura, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

“The earthquake was too small to trigger the delivery of Shake Alert-powered alerts to cell phones,” USGS ShakeAlert said on Twitter. “We know some of you felt shaking and we hope you took a protective action like Drop, Cover, and Hold On.”

The earthquake occurred at a depth of 18.5 miles. There are no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
