3.3 Magnitude Earthquake Centered in Marina del Rey

USGS marks it at 3.3 Magnitude centered about 1 mile west northwest of Marina del Rey, CA.

We felt it on the Westside. A hearty upward thrust followed by a couple thumps.

From USGS:
A minor earthquake occurred at 7:42:44 PM (PST) on Friday, January 23, 2009.

The magnitude 3.3 event occurred 2 km (1 miles) WNW of Marina del Rey, CA.

The hypocentral depth is 7 km ( 5 miles).

The preliminary measurements are usually adjusted by USGS after the event, so this measurement may not be correct.
