Shake It Off: The 3.5 Magnitude Earthquake that Rocked Rancho Palos Verdes

On Sunday evening, February 22, 2026, a 3.5-magnitude earthquake decided to throw a little dance party off the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes. Yes, you heard that right! Just when you thought it was safe to sit back and relax, Mother Nature had other plans.

According to reports from the USGS, this moderate earthquake was more than just a minor inconvenience. It was a reminder that the earth likes to keep us on our toes—or should we say, on our feet? Thankfully, no major damage was reported, but it definitely shook things up a bit!

So, what do we take away from this seismic shindig? Well, it’s a great excuse to check in on your friends and see if they’re still standing (or if they’ve developed a new dance move). And remember, the next time the ground shakes, just laugh it off and say, "Hey, at least it wasn’t a 7.0!" For more details, check out NBC Palm Springs.

Stay safe, stay informed, and keep your sense of humor intact!
