A magnitude 4.7 earthquake just north of Malibu rattled Southern California on Thursday. The temblor struck at 7:28 a.m. and was felt across the region. Significant damage is not expected from an earthquake of this magnitude. A magnitude 2.8 aftershock occurred nearby two minutes later. The earthquake epicenter was closest to the Malibu fault, said seismologist Lucy Jones, a Caltech research associate.
Near the Los Angeles International Airport, an apartment building in El Segundo shook and curtains swayed. There have been more noticeably felt earthquakes recently in highly populated areas of Southern California. But that fact doesn't help predict whether a larger, destructive earthquake is expected to occur sooner than later, earthquake experts said.
