The quake, located east of Ojai, was in the same region as August's "Hurriquake," which rattled the region at the same time as a rare tropical storm soaked Southern California. The magnitude-5.1 earthquake Aug. 20 startled Southern Californians who were already braced for the remnants of Hurricane Hilary.

The hashtag #hurriquake quickly began trending on X following the early afternoon quake.

Ojai is about 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
