Thank you for sharing that information. It seems like there was an earthquake of magnitude 5.1 that hit Southern California north of Los Angeles on August 20th, 2023. The earthquake was centered about four miles southeast of Ojai, California, about 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Several aftershocks with magnitudes up to nearly 4 were recorded in the area. The same day a tropical storm named Hilary approached the state.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

The earthquake was centered about four miles southeast of Ojai, about 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles.



Shaking was reported in Ventura, Camarillo, Oxnard, Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Santa Barbara, parts of LA's San Fernando Valley, Malibu, Porter Ranch, Manhattan Beach and other locations.

At Tres Hermanas restaurant in Ojai, security camera video captured images and the jarring sound of shaking. Ojai, a small scenic community on the edge of Los Padres National Forest about 12 miles north of Ventura, has a vibrant downtown village area that features art galleries, shops and bars.

There were no immediate reports of significant damage. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department conducted an aerial survey of Lake Casitas Dam, Matilija Dam and the city of Ojai and found no damage.
