Thursday’s quake follows Sunday’s magnitude 5.1 temblor near Ojai that was also felt across the Los Angeles area. Video captured by a Ring camera in Oxnard showed wet roads reverberating, while a camera inside Tres Hermanas in Ojai showed bottles falling and shattering at the restaurant’s bar.

The quake also caused minor damage at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula.

Hundreds of earthquakes are recorded in California each year. Many are extremely minor. However, there are typically several dozen* that measure over 3.0 magnitude.
