World-renowned seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones added on Twitter that the quake happened deep in the Pacific Ocean.
“This morning’s quake is well offshore and unusually deep for SoCal at almost 30km down. And no, none of that information tells us anything about what will happen next. Like any quake, just a few % chance it will trigger something else,” Jones wrote on Twitter.
