Small earthquake. Epicenter 1.6 miles from Hawthorne, Ca. 4.1 meter with a depth of 7 miles. You feel anything?

[RaptorBoyASU]

I'm about 4 miles away from epicenter, and definitely felt it. Shook my whole office.

[Crazy4Coasters!]

I was near Dodger Stadium and I didn't feel anything.

Preliminary reports at 3.9. If I'm doing the time conversions right according to USGS, did this happen within the last hour?

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^^Weird. I live in Lynwood and felt a jolt for a good 10 seconds.

 

^I'm watching K-Cal and it says 1.7 miles Northeast of Hawthorne at 3:49pm

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.

^If it's the end of the world...I'd like to ride Terminator first. After that it could end all it wants. Wait...maybe that's how MM is advertising this ride!

[Crazy4Coasters!]

You guys think this is a publicity stunt for Terminator at Six Flags?

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.

 

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.

^Great! I always wanted beachfront property!

[KnottsDisneyFarm]

I didn't even feel the quake. I don't have nerves in my feet or something.

[Xpress]

Yeah, first it's LA, now it's going to be San Diego. Where next? Mexico?

[KnottsDisneyFarm]

Earthquakes are random. You never know where or when they'll hit.

Well, obviously it will occur along a fault line, but earthquakes are nearly unpredictable.
