Large earthquake swarm jolts California sending shockwaves through nearby LA
Large earthquake swarm jolts California sending shockwaves through nearby LA
A large swarm of earthquakes has struck Southern California, less than 50 miles from millions of residents in Los Angeles.
A cluster of 20 minor quakes broke out at 12.33pm ET and has continued to rock an area near the small city of Fillmore on Thursday.
The earthquakes all registered between 1.1 and 3.3 in magnitude, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).
Six of the earthquakes registered between 2.5 and 3.3 in magnitude, with all of them striking in a 10-minute stretch beginning at 1.21pm.
Minor quakes of this strength are often felt for several miles in all directions but typically cause only minor damage, such as knocking objects off shelves.
The most intense shaking was felt closest to the quakes' epicenters near Fillmore, but USGS has noted that a handful of residents in West Hollywood experienced minor shaking.
There have not been any reports of injuries or damage to property at this time.
The minor seismic outbreak is the latest swarm to strike California, following at least four other notable swarm events in the last two weeks.

The US Geological Survey has detected 20 minor earthquakes (Circled in orange and red) which struck Southern California within a two-hour period on Thursday
On Monday, seven earthquakes stronger than magnitude 2.5 rattled California's Bay Area, just miles from San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose.
Days earlier, the Bay Area withstood three straight days of earthquake swarms, with over a dozen minor quakes striking the region during the week of Thanksgiving.
The recent spike in seismic activity throughout the state has reignited fears that the fabled ‘Big One,' a massive earthquake over magnitude 7.0, could be inching closer to erupting along the West Coast.
That predicted mega quake has been feared to take place along the San Andreas Fault, a massive 800-mile plate boundary responsible for much of the state's seismic activity.
Although the previous swarms took place along that fault, Thursday's 20 quakes were centered along a portion of the Southern California Coast which is roughly 50 miles away from the San Andreas.
The swarm was closest to the Red Mountain–Mission Ridge Fault system, an active network of faults in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.
While this system of faults in the southern part of the state is significantly smaller than the San Andreas, scientists have feared that it could still unleash a major earthquake stronger than 6.5 in magnitude.
The 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake is said to have reached magnitude 6.8 and has been largely attributed to a rupture along the Mission Ridge segment of this fault system.
USGS has received reports of minor shaking from as far away as Los Angeles after Thursday's earthquake swarm, which included a magnitude 3.3 quake (Pictured)
Although the latest earthquake swarm did not take place near the San Andreas, there is a portion of the massive fault which does come close to Los Angeles and would endanger the city during a major rupture.
The most recent predictions from USGS looked at a magnitude 7.8 earthquake along the San Andreas Fault originating right in Los Angeles.
This hypothetical ‘Big One' would cause roughly 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries, and $200 billion in damages, according to the Great California ShakeOut.
The last ‘Big One' occurred in 1906 in San Francisco, about 380 miles north of Los Angeles. The closest the San Andreas gets to downtown LA is about 35 miles.
