An earthquake centered several miles northwest of Malibu, Calif., rattled residents across the Los Angeles area on Friday afternoon, sparking a typical flurry of posts on social media, though the authorities said no major damage or injuries had been reported.
The quake happened at 1:47 p.m. local time and had a preliminary magnitude of 4.6, according to the United States Geological Survey. It was followed by several smaller aftershocks.
Residents across the county reported feeling a shake that lasted for about 10 seconds, with plates clinking in cupboards and plants swaying slightly.
Some residents, however, were surprised to learn of the earthquake and said they had not felt anything.
“We’ve gotten a few calls but there’s no structural damage being reported right now,” said Kaitlyn Aldana, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
