Small quakes rattle Malibu area

June 21, 2009 |  2:14 pm

Two small earthquakes separated by 47 seconds shook an area a few miles west of the Malibu coast Saturday night, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

 

The first quake, which registered a magnitude of 2.8, hit about six miles northwest of Malibu at 8:39 p.m. The second one, which was close to the first and registered 2.6, struck at 8:40 p.m.

 

The quakes were centered about 35 to 38 miles west of downtown Los Angeles. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
