Back-to-Back Earthquakes Shake Malibu and Los Angeles Area
A pair of earthquakes struck near Malibu, California, on February 15, 2025, rattling the Los Angeles metropolitan area within hours of each other. The first quake, with a magnitude of 3.7, occurred shortly before midnight on Friday, followed by a second quake measuring 3.5 magnitude at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday. Both tremors were reported by the U.S. Geological Survey, with the epicenter of the second quake located approximately 6.8 miles west-northwest of Malibu at a depth of 8.7 miles.
Shaking was felt across parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, including the South Bay, Long Beach, and the San Fernando Valley. Despite the back-to-back seismic activity, there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. Authorities confirmed that the earthquakes did not trigger further mudslides or rockslides, a concern given recent heavy rainfall and wildfire recovery efforts in the area.
The Malibu region has been particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, including mudflows from recent storms and the aftermath of January’s wildfires. Southern California has also experienced a series of smaller quakes in the past week, keeping residents on alert. Officials continue to monitor the situation, though no significant impacts have been reported.
