An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 occurred early morning on Sunday, July 2nd, 2023, at 2:29 am local time near Thousand Oaks, Ventura County, California, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 19 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface.
