Series of Earthquakes Rattle Southern California

A series of earthquakes has recently struck Southern California, with the United States Geological Survey recording a magnitude 3.6 quake early Monday morning. This latest tremor adds to a cluster of seismic activities in the region over the past few days.

The most recent earthquake occurred west of Los Angeles, with its epicenter located near Malibu. The tremor was recorded shortly after 6:22 a.m. local time. At this point, there have been no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage resulting from the quake.

This event follows a 4.7 magnitude earthquake that affected parts of Southern California on Thursday morning. The earlier earthquake struck approximately 4 miles from the Los Angeles suburb of Thousand Oaks. In addition, Northern California experienced a 3.5 magnitude earthquake on Friday afternoon, located about 5 miles northeast of Alum Rock.

The frequent occurrence of earthquakes in the region underscores its seismic vulnerability, with local authorities and residents remaining vigilant. However, no major alerts or warnings have been issued in response to these recent seismic events.
