California Hit by Series of Minor Earthquakes

Several minor earthquakes have recently shaken California, including a magnitude 2.7 quake near Sherman Oaks and Los Angeles at 12:22 p.m. on Tuesday, which was felt by some residents but caused no reported damage or injuries. The U.S. Geological Survey did not issue an early warning for the Sherman Oaks event due to its low intensity. In Northern California, a 3.3-magnitude earthquake struck near Arcata on Sunday night and was felt by over 300 people as far as Oregon, with no serious damage reported. Another magnitude 3.4 quake occurred Sunday afternoon near the Sonoma and Lake county line, widely felt but also without major consequences. Authorities continue to urge residents to stay prepared for larger earthquakes, emphasizing safety and emergency readiness. Experts warn that, while these recent quakes were minor, much stronger earthquakes are possible in California's future.
