Another good shaker here in So Cal

[jaysunb]

I'm beginning to worry what this might be leading up to.....

1. where are you? I'm in Silverlake and slept through last night's

this one went on for a while but didn't feel TOO bad. I can't find it on the USGS site, either, so I have no idea how close or deep it was,

[jaysunb]

10. Im in Pasadena...

they are reporting it as a 4.4 but it felt stronger.

14. The deeper they are the less intense they feel

More land for the force to dissipate. These suckers are shallow, ergo also more potentially damaging for the richer scale grade.

It is not just the Richter scale, but depth, direction of waves and resonance.

Stay safe and if we get the big one, make sure you are ready for it

2. Yeah, I felt it, the first of the aftershocks which have occurred...

...that I've actually felt since the 5.1 last night.

3. Nothing on local TV

last night it was the big story all night - even the 3.4 after shock. If I felt it in Alhambra and it was another after shock it must have been a big deal in La Habra

4. Oh, boy. Check your emergency supplies.

Water, batteries, food that doesn't require refrigeration/cooking. If you have a bathtub, fill
it with water.

5. 4.4 near Rowland Heights

8. I felt it in burbank

I need to go buy water and canned food...

9. We felt it here in Manhattan Beach, but only very briefly.

It felt like an aftershock.

11. Aftershock of LaHabra. No biggie. We ALWAYS see aftershocks.

I didn't even feel it and I'm sitting at my desk.

But the incresing trend of moderate quakes in SoCal over the past weeks and months has me concerned that it could eventually culminate in a Northridge-level event. Could be years for that though.

12. I thought larger numbers of small/moderate quakes

was a good thing? being in GA we don't know from earthquakes really but it was always my understanding that the small ones let off the stresses in the fault a little at a time rather than the stress building to a big shaker... is that not right? I would love to learn more... but not directly, if you get my continental drift...

16. We had a lot of smaller quakes for years prior to NR, but afterward they

vanished, and only started up again in the last year or two, IIRC.

So this increase is ringing some unpleasant bells.

[jaysunb]

13. Yes...we do always see (feel) aftershocks, but

From my past experiences (45 years) aftershocks are not larger than the original quake. This whole sequence seems very strange.

15. Per local geologist

Look at Whittier.
