MALIBU, Calif. (KABC) — A magnitude 3.9 earthquake shook the Malibu area Sunday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake struck at 8:17 p.m. and was centered about 8 miles from Westlake Village and 9 miles from Thousand Oaks, the USGS said. It marked the third consecutive Sunday that an earthquake struck Los Angeles County.
No injuries or structural damage were immediately reported.
ABC7 has compiled a list of items that are important to have in your earthquake kit so that you’re prepared for “the big one.”
ABC7 viewers reported feeling the earthquake in Thousand Oaks, Montebello, Carson and Camarillo.
“I felt it in Long Beach,” Tonia Franklin wrote on Facebook. “One wall shook for a few seconds. I pray almost every day that we don’t have a catastrophic earthquake, and I’ve been praying this way since the big Northridge earthquake in 1994.”
On the USGS website, as of 9 p.m., more than 2,800 people had reported feeling the quake in areas stretching from Santa Barbara to Mission Viejo.
The temblor, whose depth was measured at 9 miles, was initially measured at magnitude of 4.0 before being downgraded.
Sunday night’s quake follows a 3.3-magnitude quake that struck near Malibu on March 10, and a 4.1-magnitude quake in Westlake Village on March 9.
