Bolliger&Mabillard Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Small earthquake. Epicenter 1.6 miles from Hawthorne, Ca. 4.1 meter with a depth of 7 miles. You feel anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorBoyASU Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'm about 4 miles away from epicenter, and definitely felt it. Shook my whole office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy4Coasters! Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I was near Dodger Stadium and I didn't feel anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Preliminary reports at 3.9. If I'm doing the time conversions right according to USGS, did this happen within the last hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 ^^Weird. I live in Lynwood and felt a jolt for a good 10 seconds. Â ^I'm watching K-Cal and it says 1.7 miles Northeast of Hawthorne at 3:49pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I hope this isn't a harbinger of something to come. Major quakes are usually preceded by smaller ones as the crust starts to strain and buckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy4Coasters! Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 You guys think this is a publicity stunt for Terminator at Six Flags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I hope this isn't a harbinger of something to come. Major quakes are usually preceded by smaller ones as the crust starts to strain and buckle. Â Hence why if these smaller quakes show up on the Juan De Fuca off the B.C. shore, I'd be more than a little worried. The oceanic plate at that location (which is speaking broadly, mind you) has been subducting under the N.A. continental plate for quite some time without any big release, and I don't think I need to tell Californians what happens when the pressure builds for too long. Problem with this is, the fault lies just offshore of Vancouver, so a major quake might team up with an even more devastating tsunami for a double-whammy to the coast.

KnottsDisneyFarm Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well, obviously it will occur along a fault line, but earthquakes are nearly unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
