A 2.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Zuma Beach and western Malibu at 7:15 a.m. today, automated earthquake sensors reported.
The epicenter was just offshore, at Leo Carrillo State Beach, at the western city limits of Malibu. The quake was just offshore, about 8.2 miles
deep in an area traversed by the east-west Malibu Coastal Fault.
The USGS has in the past stated there is a 35 percent chance of a magnitude 6.5 or greater earthquake within the next 30 years from the network of east-west faults off Malibu.
Today’s quake was reported as mild shaking by a handful of people in Malibu, Westlake Village and Agoura Hills.
