anybody in SoCal just feel that? I felt it in Burbank

[Beaverhausen]

Earthquake that is

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. No, but let me check the USGS... it is your turn

Wrong quake, I am starting to hate this new interface.

[carlotta]

2. Felt it.

A medium jolt.

[Initech]

3. Felt it here!

[Daphne08]

4. Yes.

[XemaSab]

5. 4.1 in Fullerton/Chino Hills

6. Quakes are creeping north?

Are you near the San Andreas fault?

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. West actually with some North

It looks like pretty normal activity actually.

(And my quake detectors have calmed down)

I got a pretty good app on the IPAD that is just lovely for some of this crap.

[Cleita]

13. I'll let you know when it reaches us here in San Luis Obispo.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. If you got one triggered that north

it won't be for any shakes in So Cal... just saying

[Cleita]

15. Unless it's the San Andreas fault or one of its offshoots

then we will domino effect and all.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. No, not really

and anyway the cluster was OFF any spurs.

You could have a 9.0 in front of Seattle, at the Buenafuca plate (they are actually overdo), and you will not have any effects anywhere else in the Ring of Fire, at least not directly. If we did, after the Chile killer quake, we should have had a series of quakes up and down and we really did not.

You can have an 8.3 in San Fran. (Some think they are overdue), again, that will not trigger quakes in So Cal.

There is really no domino effect except for the local area of the fault. Whittier goes, you could have a few quakes in near spurs. But that is about it.

Quakes release pressure in the local area of the fault. They may overload other sections, but likely those sections will not go for decades, if not hundreds of years.

The reality though is that we could have a major quake in Norcal with another one in SoCal and they would not be related at all. Yes, even on the San Andreas.

[Cleita]

21. I was sort of half kidding anyway.

However, I always have an eye open when it comes to earthquake vigilance. We had a really small one in Atascadero, which is close by today. We'll see if it triggers off other ones.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. We refilled our water cache

the cluster came the day I finished cycling my water cache.

[slackmaster]

10. The quake appears to be very close to the Whittier Fault

12. That could be intereseting

ah the shakes, a lifestyle choice.

[Cali_Democrat]

7. Ya.

I felt it. Seemed small though.

[Beaverhausen]

8. My office building rolls and sways a lot

I get dizzy whenever we get one. I know I'm safe but it still gets to me.

[Cleita]

22. God I hate that.

When I lived in LA, I even quit a job that was on top of a high rise, back when we were having a bout of quakes on a daily basis.
