Earthquake Rattles SoCal On Saturday: USGS

MALIBU, CA — A preliminary 3.0-magnitude earthquake rattled Malibu on Saturday afternoon, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The agency said the quake struck around 2:15 p.m. The epicenter was located about 3 miles north-northeast of Malibu.

It's unclear if anyone suffered injuries in the quake.

Saturday's earthquake comes just over a week after several temblors rattled the area. The largest was a 4.7 quake centered in the Malibu area that struck around 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 12.

The shaking could be felt for several seconds across more than 100 miles. According to the USGS, the quake was centered 3.5 miles northwest of Malibu and was immediately followed by another smaller quake. It was about 6.5 miles deep.

Two minutes later, a magnitude 2.8 quake also struck in the Malibu area, according to the USGS. Two hours later, a magnitude 3.5 quake struck in roughly the same area at 9:37 a.m. In between, several quakes between the range of magnitude 2.0 and 3.5 struck in the region, officials said.
