The 3.6-magnitude quake may have shaken things up out in the Pacific Ocean, off the south Orange County Coast. But on land? Not so much.
The temblor was 32 miles south-southwest of Dana Point, 32.5 miles from San Clemente, and 34.9 miles from Laguna Beach, according to a preliminary report from the U.S. Geological Survey.
A USGS map shows that weak shaking occurred in some spots along the O.C. coastline, as well as in Long Beach.
The earthquake was preceded by two smaller ones.
Around 4:11 p.m., a 3.1-magnitude quake hit in the same general area, followed by another that registered at a 2.5 magnitude, the USGS site shows.
