A magnitude 4.1 earthquake struck north of Malibu, causing light and weak shaking across Southern California. The strongest effects, described as 'light' on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, were felt in Malibu, Agoura Hills, Thousand Oaks, and Camarillo, with aftershocks following the event. The quake was felt from Goleta to Huntington Beach, with reports of sensations varying from gentle sways in downtown Los Angeles to long rumbles in Redondo Beach. Fortunately, no immediate damage was reported.
The strongest shaking was considered 'light,' enough to rattle dishes and windows, and feel like a truck struck a building.
Several aftershocks followed the initial quake, with the largest recorded at a magnitude of 3.0.
The epicenter of the quake was in the Santa Monica Mountains, about 3 miles northwest of El Matador State Beach.
Residents across Southern California reported varied sensations, from a gentle shake in downtown L.A. to a long, steady shake in Reseda.
