A 4.2 magnitude earthquake and at least three aftershocks have shaken California Wednesday morning.

The first was a 4.2 magnitude earthquake about 3.7 miles south of Malibu Beach around 2 a.m. local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was reported at a depth of 9.2 miles. 

It was followed by a 3.5 magnitude aftershock in the same area, then a 2.8 and a 2.6.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said it completed “a strategic 470 square-mile survey of the City of Los Angeles following the 4.2M earthquake near Malibu.”
