The new year was a shaky start for Angelinos! Los Angeles residents woke up by a 4.0 magnitude earthquake at 2:13 a.m. on Thursday.
The epicenter of the quake was centered in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 15 miles from Port Hueneme and 60 miles west of downtown Los Angeles.
Residents said the quake felt like a quick but powerful jolt –with a shaking sensation from Santa Barbara all the way to Marina del Rey. Luckily, no damage or injury has been reported.
If you’re living in Southern California, it’s important to take all the necessary precautions when it comes to earthquake safety.

Every household should have an emergency earthquake kit with enough food, water and medicine to last for every person and pet at home for at least three days.
In addition to storing your home full of emergency supplies, it is important to have your home inspected for any necessary earthquake upgrades or upgrades.
Many homes in Los Angeles lack the requisite earthquake protection to withstand the shaking of a major earthquake.
Luckily, seismic retrofitting is an easy and cost-effective solution that will strengthen the structure and foundation of your home, making the property more resistant to damage caused by intense side-to-side and back-and-forth shaking that occurs during a major quake.
