Earthquake Strikes Near San Pedro, California

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.9 earthquake struck Tuesday off the coast of San Pedro, California.

The tremor struck around 3:26 p.m.

The epicenter was 16 miles from Long Beach and 14 miles from Rancho Palos Verdes.  The quake was reportedly shallow at a depth of 2 miles.

Residents of the area said that the quake felt a lot bigger than the USGS report.

“Felt much stronger than a 3.9,” Chris DuRee, who was near downtown Long Beach, told KTLA-TV. “Rattled softly and then a few strong rolls. No damage anywhere.”

No reports of significant damage or injuries according to local officials.
