Thursday’s 4.7 magnitude earthquake was quite the morning wake-up call for people in Agoura Hills.
The quake, centered about 15 miles south in Malibu, was the talk of the morning for a group of ladies who met for coffee and a danish at Emil’s Bake House.
“I just live up Canaan Road by Willow [Elementary] School and I was dead asleep, and yes, I definitely felt it because it just was like a sudden jolt and it woke me up from a dead sleep,” one woman told KNX News’ Karen Adams.
Uncle Af’s restaurant had a little cleaning up to do after the quake struck. Katrine, a worker at the restaurant, was at home in Agoura Hills when it hit. She said she got the alert but didn’t see or hear it because she was away from her phone.
“It was a couple of seconds, but it was very, very hard shaking, and honestly I was like, ‘okay, it's gonna finish, it's gonna finish,’” she said. “I was just scared to even move.”
