On September 16, 2024, a magnitude 3.6 earthquake struck just north of Malibu, California, at 4:22 a.m., following a 4.7 magnitude quake in the same area just four days prior. This latest tremor, recorded at a depth of approximately 6 miles, was felt by over 1,100 people across various locations, including Huntington Beach and Long Beach, but no injuries or significant damage were reported. Seismologist Lucy Jones noted that this marks the 14th seismic sequence of at least one magnitude 4 or higher earthquake in Southern California this year. The region has seen increased seismic activity, with eight earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater occurring in the past ten days. Residents expressed their concerns and curiosity about the frequency of recent earthquakes on social media. Despite the shaking, no tsunami warnings were issued, and emergency services reported no calls for assistance related to the quakes.
