A moderate 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck off the Channel Islands in California, and it was felt by many in Southern California, including Los Angeles.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the temblor hit at around 12:29 p.m. local time at a depth of around 10 miles beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean. It was centered some 40 miles southwest of Ventura and 85 miles west of Los Angeles.
