The earthquake was the strongest to hit California so far this year, according to the Southern California Earthquake Data Center.
More than 1,400 residents in Southern California felt shaking on Thursday morning after an earthquake hit off the coast of Port Hueneme, California.
The earthquake, a magnitude 4.0, according to the United States Geological Survey , occurred just after 2 a.m. local time. There was no tsunami warning and the USGS issued a green alert, indicating it wasn't likely there would be casualties or damages. The tremor was enough to rouse some people from their slumber and 1,425 people reported having felt the quake to the USGS. Those in the cities of Port Hueneme, Oxnard Shores, El Rio, Camarillo, El Rio and Channel Islands Beach would have experienced the strongest shaking, although it would have still been moderate. Those in Long Beach, Los Angeles, Glendale and Huntington Beach may have also felt light shaking.
The hashtag"earthquake" was trending on Twitter on Thursday morning, with multiple people saying they used the social media site to confirm that they felt an earthquake. One person commented that it felt as if someone was kicking their bed and others claimed they thought they imagined it. Thomas Laughlin, a professional wrestler better known as Tommy Dreamer, joked that he ate too much on Wednesday night, put on weight and tripped over his suitcase at 2:13 a.m., the same time as the earthquake."I apologize to the lovely state of California," the wrestler added.I tripped over my suitcase at 2:13am
