At 2:17am, on Monday morning, a 3.5 magnitude earthquake hit 3 miles west of Hermosa Beach, California.
The earthquake occurred just off the coast of the LA area and may be associated with either the Redondo Canyon or Palos Verdes fault zones. The epicenter was located just north of both fault systems.
Approximately 15 minutes after the quake, more than 720 felt reports were given to the USGS, most of which were centered around the LA metro area. The highest number of reports, 88, came from the Manhattan Beach area. It was reported being felt as far north as Chatsworth, as far east as Covina, and as far south as Irvine.
Due to the minor magnitude, no damage or injuries are expected.

At 11:10am, on Thursday morning, a 4.1 magnitude earthquake hit 6 miles east southeast of Ocotillo, California. The earthquake occurred just north of the Mexican border, in the desert, and is possibly related either to the Yuha Wells Fault or the extreme northern edge of the Laguna Salada Fault. The earthquake appears to be an aftershock of the 7.2 Baja earthquake sequence.
Earlier in the morning, a 3.2 earthquake occurred near Anza and a 3.1 earthquake occurred near Salton City, California. These three earthquakes occurred within 10 hours of each other and, two months after the Baja quake, this is showing signs that seismic activity in the region is not going quiet just yet.
The 4.1 magnitude earthquake was felt as far north as Palm Springs, as far northwest as Irvine, as far west as San Diego, as far east as Mexicali, and south into Mexico.
The epicenter of the 4.1 quake is located in the desert where no major towns are immediately nearby. Due to the moderate magnitude and rural terrain, no damage or injuries are expected.
