The Monday morning earthquake, a magnitude 2.8, was centered in Alhambra, causing weak shaking across downtown Los Angeles and surrounding neighborhoods, reminiscent of distant traffic or helicopters.
Following the 2.8 quake, residents in Highland Park experienced gentle rocking lasting three seconds, while in Glendale, the shaking was so subtle that some did not perceive it as an earthquake.
Recent seismic activity in this Los Angeles area includes a series of quakes since summer, with significant events occurring in June and August, highlighting an active fault system.
An investigation revealed many suburbs in the area lack plans for retrofitting 'soft-story' buildings, raising concerns for safety amidst the increasing earthquake occurrences.
