Overview
- USGS automatic systems detected a shallow earthquake near Randsburg/Johannesburg with initial magnitudes reported between about 4.1 and 4.3.
- The agency placed the epicenter roughly 9 miles west-southwest of Randsburg at an estimated depth near 5.6 miles.
- Reports of shaking came from Burbank, Pasadena, Valencia, Santa Clarita and parts of the San Fernando Valley and were posted to the USGS ‘Did You Feel It?’ tool and social media.
- There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries following the tremor.
- The event follows another roughly magnitude-4.2 quake the previous day and illustrates how shallow, M4-range temblors are often felt widely in Southern California without causing major damage while scientists review instrument data.
