3.4 in Carson, CA, Los Angeles suburb.
Very close to the Newport-Inglewood fault zone which is the source of the 1933 M6.4 Long Beach Earthquake.
Focal mechanism is consistent with fault direction.
A large quake on this fault would be bad, not just because it runs under densely populated urban areas, but many of the neighborhoods along the fault trace are older and poor as well.
