3.5 earthquake near South Pasadena shakes parts of Southern California <br/>A 3.5-magnitude earthquake in the South Pasadena area shook parts of Southern California on Sunday morning, June 2, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.<br/><br/>The quake, at 9:56 a.m., was centered 2.3 miles south southwest of Pasadena, 2.4 miles west southwest of Alhambra, and 3 miles west northwest of Monterey Park, according to the USGS.<br/><br/>It occurred at a depth of nearly seven miles.<br/><br/>The earthquake could be felt in parts of the San Gabriel Valley, downtown Los Angeles and elsewhere.<br/><br/>Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones, who was in South Pasadena at the time, posted on X that the quake was “sharp and short.”<br/><br/>She added, “The focal mechanism shows east-west thrust faulting, much like the 1987 Whittier Narrows quake. (Sunday’s) quake is west of that event.”<br/><br/>A thrust fault is a break in the Earth’s crust, with older rocks pushed above younger rocks.<br/><br/>No injuries or damage were immediately reported.
