4.2 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Malibu Beach, CA

  • January 25, 2023

Malibu, California earthquake details from USGS

Los Angeles County, California’s homeowners are shaken after the magnitude-4.2 earthquake.

Malibu Beach and the surrounding area were rattled by a magnitude-4.2 earthquake that struck South of Malibu Beach on Wednesday, January 25, 2023, at 2:00 a.m. Pacific Time. 

The shaking was felt in Santa Monica, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Los Angeles, and Long Beach.

The magnitude-4.2 Malibu earthquake comes on the 5th anniversary of another earthquake that happened at 2 a.m. A magnitude-4.0 struck near Trabuco Canyon around 2 a.m. on January 25th, 2018. Earthquakes like these serve as a reminder for those who do not have earthquake insurance to look for coverage as soon as possible. These situations happen randomly; stay prepared and protect your home/valuables before it is too late.

Reports from this earthquake

A homeowner in Thousand Oaks, California, states:

“Laying in bed and felt everything roll back and forth a couple of times, stopped and started hearing sounds of apartment settling (cricks and cracks). Felt one more jolt a minute or two after.”

A homeowner in Irvine, California, reports:

“The tv shook quite a lot, and I could hear rumbling. My cat was immediately alarmed. My partner was sleeping, but from where I was on the couch, I felt it immediately and was very disturbed! Moving was difficult, but I woke him quickly to get us under a table.”

Did you know that your homeowner insurance policy does not provide coverage for earthquake damage?

If you own a home in California, consider how an earthquake can instantly wipe out your hard-earned equity. According to a recent three-year data sample, an average of five earthquakes with magnitudes between 5.0 and 6.0 occur yearly in California.

The probability of an earthquake measuring magnitude 6.7 in the next 30 years is 60% in the Los Angeles area and 72% in the San Francisco Bay Area.

If you experience a total loss in an earthquake, can you afford to rebuild, replace your belongings, find another place to live, and pay off your existing loans? 

GeoVera’s stand-alone residential earthquake insurance will cover your dwelling, other structures, your contents, personal liability, loss of use, and more.
