LA SHAKES: 3.5-Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Southern California Sunday...

A 3.5-magnitude earthquake rattled the Los Angeles area Sunday morning, centered just offshore. While moderate by California standards, temblors near major population centers typically trigger brief but widespread reports from residents across the region. Southern California sits along the San Andreas Fault system and experiences thousands of small quakes yearly; most cause no damage, though they serve as regular reminders of the tectonic activity underlying the coastline.
