A preliminary 4.7 magnitude earthquake struck Malibu early Thursday, with shaking felt across Southern California, but no significant injuries or damage reported.
Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones highlighted an increase in recent seismic activity in Southern California, mentioning a previous 4.4 magnitude quake last month.
Jones emphasized the challenge in determining if the increasing frequency of earthquakes in the region is statistically significant or just natural variation.
Dr. Jones clarified that the Malibu earthquake is unrelated to weather conditions, underscoring its geological nature.
