3.3 magnitude quake rattles L.A. area where larger temblor struck Sunday
A pair of earthquakes, including a 3.3 magnitude, shook the same area of Los Angeles early Monday morning where a 4.1 magnitude temblor hit Sunday afternoon.
The 3.3 magnitude quake struck at 2:23 a.m. Monday with its epicenter 6.7 miles northwest of Malibu and 7.7 miles southwest of Westlake Village, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
A smaller 1.3 magnitude earthquake was recorded just three minutes later in the same area. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from either of the quakes.
The powerful 4.1 magnitude temblor that struck just after 1 p.m. Sunday was “widely felt in the L.A. region,” USGS said on X. Some of the strongest shakings were reported in areas of Malibu, Agoura Hills and Thousands Oaks.
“It causes a lot of shaking and maybe some fear but not any damage and that seems to be what we’re seeing in the sequence over the last year,” Caltech Dr. Lucy Jones said following Sunday’s quake.

Thousands of earthquakes are recorded in California annually, but the vast majority are incredibly minor. Several hundred reach a magnitude of 3.0, and only about 15 to 20 reach a magnitude of 4.0 or greater, according to the USGS.
In North America, only Alaska records more quakes per year than California.
What to do in an earthquake
During an earthquake, knowing the proper steps to protect yourself and minimize injury is crucial. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) provides detailed guidelines on what to do during such events. Here are the key points:
Drop, Cover, and Hold On:
Drop: Immediately drop down onto your hands and knees. This position prevents you from being knocked over and allows you to stay low and crawl to safety if necessary.
Cover: Use one arm to protect your head and neck, and if possible, take shelter under a sturdy table or desk. If no shelter is available, get down next to an interior wall away from windows. Stay on your knees and bend over to protect vital organs.
Hold On: Hold on to your shelter until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if it shifts.
