3.2-Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Malibu, Felt in Los Angeles

A 3.2-magnitude earthquake struck just off the coast of Malibu, California, at 9:33 a.m. local time, with the epicenter located approximately 3 miles from Malibu Beach at a depth of about 7.5 to 8 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The tremor was felt across a wide area, including parts of Los Angeles, Montebello, Altadena, Pasadena, and West Los Angeles, with no immediate reports of injuries or damage. This event followed a smaller 2.2-magnitude quake near Riverside County minutes earlier. California experiences thousands of minor earthquakes annually, with few causing significant damage, and experts advise the public to practice safety measures such as dropping, covering, and holding on during tremors. Separately, there was an unconfirmed seismic event near San Jose, California, reported around the same timeframe, but details on its magnitude and impact remain pending verification. Residents are encouraged to report felt shaking and stay informed through official channels and apps providing seismic alerts.
