The latest earthquake came just several weeks after a 4.1 magnitude earthquake rocked Los Angeles on New Year’s Day.
“A 4.1 magnitude earthquake shook the Los Angeles County area on New Year’s Day,” KTLA 5 noted at the time. “The temblor struck off the coast about 12 miles south of Rancho Palos Verdes and south-southwest of San Pedro at 8:27 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey.”
