A California City littered by stars has an increasing risk of earthquakes, have warned experts.
Malibu – where celebrities, including Cher and Barbra Streisand, their own luxurious houses of millions of dollars – have been swept into a wave of seismic activity that has made moderate quakes more often.
Although this increase has influenced the entire region in South California, seismologist Lucy Jones said that the Los Angeles Times Malibu has confronted with the victim.
There are no convincing ways for experts to predict when future earthquakes will strike or as smaller seismic events indicate that larger ones are coming.
“Seismologists have tried to read the tea leaves for decades to look for patterns,” seismologist Susan Hough, US Geological Survey (USGS), told The La Times a few months ago.
“Nobody has found patterns that are statistically meaningful before large earthquakes take place.”
In the course of 2024, South California had 15 cases of seismic activity that caused an earthquake of size 4 or higher.
But since Sunday afternoon, five earthquakes of Magnitudes have hit the neighborhoods in and around Malibu for 2.5 to 4.1.

According to the modified Mercalli intensity scale that ranks how powerful earthquakes are, Magnitude 4 earthquakes are considered 'light'.
It is normal for people to feel within a small shake, for dishes to rattle and for walls to crack, the scale explains.
Malibu alone has experienced three earthquakes stronger in the last 13 months than Magnitude 4, including Sunday's.

One of the most destructive earthquakes in the history of the region took place in 1994.
The devastating earthquake in Northridge, which resulted in at least 57 dead and thousands of injuries, became South California, mainly the San Fernando valley, with a size of 6.7.
Malibu is part of the Malibu Coast-Santa Monica-Hollywood Fault System, which includes the Dume error, the Malibu Coast Fault and the Anacapa-Dume error.

When the forest fires broke out, real estate developer Robert Rivani was only a few weeks away from mentioning his newly renovated Malibu Mansion on the market for $ 40 million. But the Palisades fire reduced the ocean house with five bedrooms to rubble.
