UPDATED with latest: A good sized earthquake rattled windows across Los Angeles at about 1:47 p.m. today. Preliminary reports put the temblor at 4.6 on the Richter Scale and have it centered about 7.7 miles southwest of Westlake Village.
The USGS said the quake occurred at a depth of about 10 miles. It was the largest such shake felt in that area in some time.
There was no immediate word of damage or injuries, but the area received about seven inches of rain in the past week, so local landslides may come to light in the coming hours.
Dr. Lucy Jones of the USGS said the shock happened “very close to the Malibu Coast Fault” in “an an area that has had plenty of earthquakes in the past and is well understood to be seismically active.” Another USGS official later said the quake may have been located on the nearby Anacapa-Dume Fault.
