Magnitude 4.6 earthquake strikes near Malibu, rattles Southern California
A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck near Malibu on Friday and was felt across a wide swath of Southern California.
The temblor was reported at 1:47 p.m., with an epicenter about 2½ miles northeast of Leo Carrillo State Beach and about 3 miles northwest of El Matador State Beach. It was followed by several aftershocks. An earlier estimate listed a magnitude of 4.7.
There were no immediate reports of major damage. There were some reports that the shaking was strong enough to toss items off a counter and cracking walls.
In Malibu Village Books, a bookstore near Malibu Lagoon State Beach, customers and staff hesitated as the flood shook.
“We definitely did feel lit here,” said Emma Carroll, a bookseller at the shop. “But we are all OK.”
She said a few loose books fell off the shelves, but “nothing too bad.”
The Malibu earthquake was not related to a magnitude 5.7 earthquake that hit the southern edge of Hawaii’s Big Island Friday.
