this is a neat little site. Told me about the little earthquake up here in portland two months ago.

Small earthquake rattles U.S.-Mexico border region
Associated Press

EL CENTRO, Calif. - A magnitude-4.8 earthquake hit the southeastern California desert Thursday, rattling buildings as far as San Diego. There were no reports of damages or injuries.

The temblor occurred at 6:27 p.m. near Obsidian Butte, about 26 miles north of El Centro, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. San Diego is about 100 miles to the west.

"Everything rolled for a while, kinda like being on a boat, then it settled back down," said Sgt. Gary Hayes of the Imperial County Sheriff's Department.

Dozens of small earthquakes have hit the southeast California desert since Wednesday.

The temblors have been in the Brawley seismic zone, which is known for having many quakes that strike closely together. The zone runs north to south and is connected on its northern end to the San Andreas Fault and its southern end with the Imperial Fault.

The earthquake swarm started Monday and typically takes a few days to build up and then a few days to taper off, said Kate Hutton, a staff seismologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

"It will die off," Hutton said. "It might not be right away, but it will."

A couple minutes ago. Kinda small, but it lasted longer than usual

4.2 in Wrightwood.

Hooray.

wha?

A minor earthquake occurred at 9:28:49 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, March 26, 2008.
The magnitude 3.1 event occurred 3 km (2 miles) NE of Newport Beach, CA.
The hypocentral depth is 8 km ( 5 miles).

That about figures. I wondered if it was local.

my thoughts go out to all the victims of the Great Orange County Earthquake of 2008 *prays*

Somewhere out there a drink has spilled onto someone at Muldoon's. I weep for the fabric.

BIG jolt just now. Almost certainly local.

aw, i just felt my first earthquake!

Holy SHIT that was huge here (Valencia)

I was beginning to think you guys didn't have those down here

it's funny... i almost left an open beer on my nightstand last night, but then i thought "naw, this is earthquake country."

5.6

Not in LA now but my colleagues are.

5.8 sez usgs

A moderate earthquake occurred at 11:42:15 AM (PDT) on Tuesday, July 29, 2008.
The magnitude 5.8 event occurred 3 km (2 miles) SW of Chino Hills, CA.
The hypocentral depth is 12 km ( 8 miles).

5.8 now.

pitchfork gave it 6.5

It was adjusted up by USGS right after I posted.

I scared

You SoCal bastards are just trying to rile me ain't ya?

latebloomer FTW, lock thread

Anyone who lives in CA has that site memorized.

I thought it was just someone vacuuming the hotel room next door to begin with. Then the chandelier in my 11th story room started swinging :(

pitchfork gave it 6.5

lol. i want earthquake too. *bangs table with spoon*

Ton of aftershocks still happening, up to 4.

Sorry, up to 3.8. I am such a liar.

lol @ facebook status updates

honestly easier to remember facebook as an earthquake indicator than that uggs site

Probably the closest precursor in location and strength

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittier_Narrows_earthquake

I'm guessing schools are being let out for the day.

probably just a meth lab exploding in chino hills

Aw, you guys are making me homesick.

:( four years in that place and the only real earthquake comes 6 weeks after i leave

Well done, max.

"real", heh.

"Anyone who lives in CA has that site memorized."

So funny and accurate. It's on my links toolbar!

It's a bit strange that it took *that long* for something greater than 5.5 to hit SoCal.

There used to be 6.0+'s every two years BACK IN MY DAY

ANyway, i hope there are very little to no injuries.

lol! we walked to school in 7.5 earthquakes

felt nothing.

All quiet here in Glendale.

Don't think so, but have headphones on and bounce my leg often.

Whoops.

I'm flying out there tonight, unfortunately no time for fun as I'll be spending a long day each at a site in Ontario and El Segundo.

i felt nothing up here in the valley.

same

woke me up this morning

are you sure? i don't see anything on the usgs map.

A shallow magnitude 3.8 earthquake was reported Sunday morning 18 miles from Barstow , according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The temblor occurred at 6:05 a.m. Pacific time.

According to the USGS, the epicenter was 22 miles from Lenwood, 30 miles from Goldstone Lake and 107 miles from the Los Angeles Civic Center.

In the past 10 days, there has been one earthquake magnitude 3.0 and greater centered nearby.

A 4.0 off the coast of Malibu tonight. I didn't feel anything.

my wife did, i was concentrating on taking a photo of something and didn't feel a thing

pix plz

she felt the earth move

haw

didn't feel a thing, tho apparently my roommate did? we were in the same room watching 'mad men' together

anyone else get woken up last night?

Felt one just now.

4.4 near Yorba Linda

didn't feel it.

there were just a couple of more in the same area in the past hour, a 4.5 and a 3.4

Vaguely felt something last night.

Missed them.

― gershy, Thursday, March 27, 2008 12:31 AM

indeed, did not feel it

i felt it.

¯\(°_o)/¯

Anyone?

A friend in L.A. just posted something about it (prompting my post)--looks minor but in L.A.:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci15310433#summary

missed it -- i was fast asleep. i felt the last one though!

another day, another earthquake i find out about from twitter. it's better than the big one coming and devastating everything, right?

What's the general anxiety level with you Californians then about earthquakes?

we've been under threat of a BIG ONE for as long as I've been alive.. worst one I was in was Northridge and a bunch of our stuff fell down but not much damage.. if you worry about this sort of stuff every day you'll die early.

The Big One is one of those things that people generally don't think about or even plan for in their day-to-day lives, even though Northern Californians are basically due to get hit with it any time now. I do know that we've had seismic retrofits in a lot of places in the Bay Area.

We maintain emergency kits. Other than that I dont really worry about it cuz whats the point.

I'm a little nervous about the big one hitting bc our duplex was built in 1919 and it's two stories. it survived northridge I guess. I try to be prepared but I also don't think about it. Everyone I know assumes a 7.0 will hit sooner rather than later but then again we all might be mouldering away dead for years before it occurs. Who knows?

There was an article in the latimes about how the water system will break into a million pieces once a big quake hits. Really should have water on hand. =\

I used to think abt quakes more when I worked on the top floor of an old building on spring st in downtown. not sure if one of those big lads would collapse in a quake but a lot of the facades would drop right down onto the streets and sidewalks.

i would have second and third thoughts about moving to california for this very reason. although these days i probably should be just as worried about the eastern seaboard. basically my plan to buy up land in michigan's upper peninsula really ought to be taking shape by now.

just had a 5 off santa cruz island. it was probably the most intense that I've experienced.

ha felt it

i've felt worse

That was fun. Dude in the store looks at me like "uhhh what's this?"

The medical office building on the corner emptied out apparently.

I was taking a shower, in a mild version of my worst earthquake nightmare.
