Earthquake in SoCal!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

A moment ago.

Pretty good shaking but not long.

Anyone else?

I'll look for a link.

USGS had some data from Redondo Beach CA, which is the town next door to mine.

1. WOW! Glad to hear you are okay, Peggy.

[MustLoveBeagles]

Are you okay?

[FHRRK]

followed by a 3.0.

6. On the heels of an earthquake in Hawaii earlier today.

Seems a little unusual to say the least.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. It's not at all unusual. California is on the Rim of Fire which is a series of faults . . .

that circle around the Pacific Ocean. This rim is famous for its earthquake activity.

We are OK.

7. stay safe Peggy!

9. Near Malibu?

Are you okay CP?

[Diamond_Dog]

11. WOW! Glad to hear you, Peggy, and other DUers checking in.

Those things are SCARY!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thanks for all of your responses! I AM FINE, MY HOUSE IS TOO, THANK YOU ALL! nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. That's a relief

13. Felt it in Hollywood - brief shaking

My wife was watching TV in the comfy chair and didn't feel it.

The dog continued sleeping

39. Crap. I missed it. I was driving down Franklin.

[Sympthsical]

16. Feels like the Californian stretch of the plate has been very active of late

We've had a lot of small quake activity around the Juan de Fuca plate to the north, some NorCal rumblings along the San Andreas, that thumper in San Bernardino a few weeks ago, and quite a bit of cluster activity in the Gulf of California over the past month.

Now, Malibu is showing up as a swarm. I count four different quakes in about four minutes there.

More small quakes are better than one large one, but getting to feel a little skittish about it. A fault runs through my neighborhood, so it's like, "Y'all need to calm down."

17. Yikes!

I remember one when I was visiting my brother when he lived there. He acted like it was no big deal, and said you get used to them. I thought it was a big deal,and I'd never be able to get used to them.

Stay safe!

18. Foreshock for a bigger one coming up?

[Demovictory9]

19. The radio newscaster felt it..i didnt..was driving

[usonian]

20. There's an app for that.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. That's a great map, my dear usonian! Thanks for sharing it.

What's the name of the app? You put it on your phone?

[usonian]

24. QuakeWatch on the Apple iOS AppStore

99¢

Has been a handy resource.

Stay safe!

No payola. Just a review.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Thanks! I'll see if I can get it too. nt

42. The Berkeley university "My Shake" app is also good

And can be used world wide.
I was in Bogota, Colombia during their earthquakes last August and the event showed up by the time I went to see how big they had been.
Incidentally I had the best lasagna ever in a local restaurant while waiting to be let back into the office

[DBoon]

21. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake is no big deal here

Now if we had an inch of snow in Los Angeles, they'd have to call out the national guard

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. They sure would, lol!

[malaise]

25. Glad you're OK

My dear CaliforniaPeggy

[spanone]

26. Take Care!!!!!

❤️

[getagrip_already]

28. First, you don't rake your forests, now you don't strap down your fault lines......

You folks just don't know how to run a state. I'll bet you aren't even using enough paper towels to keep the mud from sliding, are you?

[Hekate]

31. LOL

[hardluck]

29. Barely felt it on the 38th Floor in DTLA

Felt a slight sway. What was interesting is that I got a quake warning on LA's MyShake app before the earthquake hit! That was pretty cool.

[Hekate]

30. Felt it here in Ventura!

[Jacson6]

32. I live in the Central California Coast area.

When there is an earth quake in the LA area we don't feel anything, but if it is in the San Joaquin Valley we do. And we are on the west side of the San Andreas fault.

[crickets]

33. So glad to hear everything's okay, Peggy!

It's been quite a while since I lived in SoCal. I miss so much about it, but quakes are not on the list - even though it's usually NBD until you start getting into the 5 pointers and up. Glad to hear it was just a shake and nothing more serious!

[Raine]

35. I'm in coastal Los Angeles County and felt it too. 😯 nt

[Richard D]

36. I was close...

... It was a bit intense.

[Nictuku]

37. I heard there was one on the Big Island today too

... that is not all that uncommon, what with an active volcano. But it was 6.2 - fairly big one. Something going on with our Teutonic Plates?

[aggiesal]

38. Didn't feel it in San Diego ...

but I usually don't feel anything under 5.0, unless I'm sitting on a couch.
Don't ask me why, because I don't know.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. This one was 4.9, so not that big. Plus San Diego is a long way from Malibu! nt

[wiggs]

41. felt it in my rolling office chair in south OC, coast. Tiny but perceptible. nt
