3.2 Earthquake Hits Off Malibu Coast
MALIBU, Calif. (AP) ―
A small, early-morning earthquake has shaken Malibu. There is no word of any injuries or damage.
Seismologists say the magnitude-3.2 quake struck at 3:05 a.m. Wednesday at a depth of about 1.2 miles.
Randy Baldwin of the National Earthquake Information Center says it was centered six miles off the coast of the upscale beach city and 33 miles west of downtown Los Angeles.
A deputy at the Malibu/Lost Hills sheriff's station said he had received no calls about the temblor and it was not felt at the station.
