In Malibu Village Books, a store near Malibu Lagoon State Beach, customers and staff hesitated as the floor shook.

She said a few books fell off the shelves, but “nothing too bad.”

The U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center reported that no tsunami was triggered.

Friday is the 53rd anniversary of the 1971 San Fernando earthquake, which was recorded as magnitude 6.6. Also known as the Sylmar earthquake, it killed 64 people and caused over $500 million in damage.
