Magnitude 3.4 earthquake hits Southern California, rattling nerves
By Rong-Gong Lin II, Los Angeles TimesDec 23, 2023
LOS ANGELES — A magnitude 3.4 earthquake hit underneath Huntington Beach on Friday night, rattling some nerves.
The earthquake struck at 9:52 p.m., with an epicenter just east of Newland Elementary School. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there was light shaking at the epicenter as defined by the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, with the shaking intense enough to be felt indoors by many — feeling perhaps like a heavy truck striking a building.
"That was crazy. ... Our building felt like a semi truck ran into it," one user wrote on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
No significant damage had been reported as of late Friday night.
Light shaking was also felt in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley and Garden Grove, the USGS said.
Huntington Beach sits within the Newport-Inglewood fault zone, which extends on land for some 46 miles between Culver City and Newport Beach.
The most destructive earthquake to hit the area in modern times was a magnitude 6.4 that hit in 1933. Often referred to as the Long Beach earthquake, its epicenter was actually just offshore of Huntington Beach and ruptured about 9 miles of fault, all beneath the surface.

Could be a foreshock, considering its a potent full moon shock window week.
