Earthquake Lompoc Today: A magnitude 3.3 earthquake struck Lompoc Valley on Sunday evening, causing light tremors that were widely felt in the region but thankfully resulted in no reported injuries or damage. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) pinpointed the earthquake’s epicenter southwest of Lompoc near San Miguelito Road, with the tremor occurring shortly after 9:00 p.m.
The quake, which was shallow and close to the surface, was primarily felt by residents in Lompoc Valley and the nearby Santa Maria Valley. The USGS reported no significant aftershocks following the main event, and local authorities confirmed they received no emergency calls related to the earthquake.
While the tremor was relatively mild, local residents were quick to share their experiences on social media, describing brief shaking that rattled windows and startled pets. The Lompoc Valley area, located along California’s Central Coast, occasionally experiences low-magnitude earthquakes due to tectonic activity in the region, making Sunday night’s event a reminder of the area’s susceptibility to seismic activity.
