"4.6-Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Southern California, Startles Residents and Pets"

A 4.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Malibu, shaking the greater Los Angeles area but causing no significant damage or injuries. The quake was felt across a wide region, from the Malibu coast to Bakersfield, San Diego, and downtown Los Angeles. Seismologist Lucy Jones stated that the quake's magnitude was not severe enough to cause expectations of damage, and no tsunami was triggered. This earthquake was not related to the 5.7-magnitude shock that hit Hawaii's Big Island on the same day.
