An earthquake measuring 3.3 on the Richter scale was felt Sunday at 11:23:34 a.m. in Los Angeles County.

The quake hit eight miles northeast of the city of Santa Clarita, at a shallow 0.3 miles in depth (one-half kilometer). It was centered in Texas Canyon in the Angeles National Forest between Bouquet Canyon Road and Sierra Highway, at 34.503 degrees north, 118.427 degrees west.

The readings were reviewed by a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

The county’s emergency responders were put on alert and no damage was reported.

Small as it was, it was the state’s largest earthquake since Thursday, when a 3.8 shaker hit Darwin in Central California.

Six and a half hours after Sunday’s little tremor, at 6:07:21 p.m. an even smaller, 2.1-magnitude quake struck just north of Sierra Highway between Agua Dulce and Acton, at a depth of 6 miles.
