A magnitude 3.2 earthquake near Compton rattled multiple counties in Southern California overnight Sunday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The agency said the quake hit about 2.5 miles south-southeast of Compton just before 12:15 a.m. Its depth was recorded as nearly 8 miles.
Residents reported feeling mostly weak-to-light shaking across Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Riverside counties —from Universal City to the north, Santee to the south, Murrieta to the east and Hermosa Beach to the west, according to the USGS’ “Did You Feel It?” map.
No injuries or major damage were immediately reported.
Following the temblor, the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management reminded the public to always be ready since earthquakes can happen anywhere and without warning.
Some of the county’s agency safety tips include practicing the “drop, cover and hold on” method, creating an emergency plan for home and workplaces, reviewing evacuation routes and making a disaster supply kit. More tips can be found here.
