Shake rattle and roll - California

| No Comments

A whole bunch of earthquakes in Southern California - ranging from 2.6 Mag up to 6.4 Mag. Here is a screen-cap from the USGS quake map (the image is about 30 miles square):

From the Los Angeles Times:

Largest earthquake in decades hits Southern California, measuring 6.4 magnitude
A 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Southern California on Thursday, the largest temblor to hit the region in two decades.

The 10:33 a.m. quake was centered in the Searles Valley, a remote area of Kern County about 100 miles north of Los Angeles, and was felt as far away as Long Beach and Las Vegas.

There were no immediate reports of fatalities, though authorities in the city of Ridgecrest were responding to dozens of emergency calls.

The quake was the largest in Southern California since the 7.1 Hector Mine quake struck the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps base in 1999.

Felt as far away as Long Beach and Las Vegas.
