The earthquake that struck near Mexicali this afternoon was
upgraded to a preliminary magnitude of 7.2, but there were no reports
of major damage or injuries in San Diego or Los Angeles. There have
also been several aftershocks in the last hour.
FLASH UPDATE @
6:09 p.m.:
Information about quake damage in Mexico remains
sketchy. According to Reuters, there have been reports of people
trapped in elevators, collapsed retaining walls and power outages in
and around Mexicali. Telephone lines were down and items fell off of
shelves and bookcases, according to reports.
In San Diego
County, officials said no injuries have been reported so far. But
authorities are looking into reports of shattered glass and items
falling off of shelves.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said their
preliminary inspections of major infrastructure -- such as tall
buildings, freeway bridges and stadiums -- found no problems.
"All fire stations completed their district drive-through assessment
with no significant damage or injuries reported. LAFD had a slight
increase in 911 call load mostly associated with automatic alarms and
stuck elevators. Again no significant damage or injuries reported," the
LAFD said in a statement.
San Diego County officials also said
they found no significant damage. There were reports of people stuck in
elevators. LAFD officials said they found broken elevators -- but no
one stuck inside. Rides were temporarily closed at the Disneyland theme
park in Anaheim.
The temblor struck at 3:40 p.m. about 108 miles
east of Tijuana. In Los Angeles, the shaking lasted for several
seconds. Jeniffer Haynie, 59, of Hemet was sitting by the side of her
bed reading the newspaper and got up when the ground began moving.
"When it first started it felt like I was on a roller coaster," Hayne
said in a phone interview. "It slowed down, then it picked up even
faster for about a minute."
As the ground shook, she said, she
grabbed her Brussels griffon, Chewbacca, and told him to hang on. The
quake lasted for about a minute, Hayne said. "That's a long time for an
earthquake," she said.
This part of Baja California -- near
Mexicali -- has experienced regular seismic activity -- mostly small
quakes but also some strong ones. Guadalupe Victoria has recorded
numerous minor quakes in the last few weeks.
Caltech
seismologists were still studying the details of the temblor, trying to
connect it to a specific fault. They said it's possible that the quake
was so large it ruptured all the way into California.
Hundreds of
people so far have reported it on the "Did You Feel It" reporting
system at the U.S. Geological Survey.

LOS ANGELES
- An
earthquake
centered in
Baja
California in
Mexico shook
buildings as
far north
as Los Angeles
Sunday
afternoon.
The
earthquake was
centered in
the Baja
California,
about 16 miles
south-southwest
of
Guadalupe
Victoria, the
United States
Geological
Service said.
The quake had
a magnitude of
6.9.
High-rise
buildings in
Los Angeles
and San Diego
rocked back
and forth as
the quake hit.
The
earthquake
shook houses
in Los Angeles
for roughly a
minute, and
aftershocks
then followed.
The 6.9
earthquake
occurred about
20.1 miles
below the
earth’s
surface, the
geological
survey said.
Experts
have said that
such a depth
increases the
chances that
the earth
might absorb a
majority of
the shock,
reducing the
chances of
damage on the
surface. A 6.9
earthquake can
cause major
damage in
structures,
crack the
ground and
shift
foundations.
There were
no immediate
reports of
damage or
injury. The
Los Angeles
Fire
Department
went on
earthquake
alert and
began
inspecting
overpasses for
damage.
Emergency
officials
urged
residents to
contact each
other using
text messages
in order to
keep cellphone
signals
clear for
emergency
workers
responding to
distress
calls.
The
geological
survey
reported
another 3.4
earthquake at
3:55 p.m.
centered 35
miles
east-northeast
of San
Diego. It was
not
immediately
clear if that
was related to
the 6.9
earthquake. A
viewer told
CNN that
their boat in
San Diego
Harbor began
rocking from
the quake and
that pilings
began shaking
for
several
seconds.
The quake
quickly
affected other
areas. In
Century City,
KABC-TV
reported that
a woman was
trapped in
an elevator in
Century City.
And at the LAX
Airport, some
passengers
told CNN that
they had felt rumbling
and were
worried that
flights might
be delayed.

4.7-magnitude earthquake shakes California
3-24-09
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — A moderate, 4.7-magnitude earthquake
shook southern California Tuesday, according to the US
Geological Survey, with no immediate reports of injuries or
damage.
The tremor hit at 4:55 am (1155 GMT), 3.5 miles (5.6
kilometers) underground, centered some three miles (four
kilometers) from Bombay Beach, which is on the Salton Sea, a
large lake in the Salton Sink desert basin, the USGS reported.
The town is some 90 miles (144 kilometers) east of San
Diego.
Geologists say an earthquake capable of causing widespread
destruction is 99 percent certain of hitting California within
the next 30 years.
A study published last year said a 7.8 magnitude quake
could kill 1,800 people, injure 50,000 more and damage 300,000
buildings.
A 6.7 earthquake in Los Angeles in 1994 left at least 60
people dead and caused an estimated 10 billion dollars in
damage, while a 6.9 quake in San Francisco in 1989 claimed 67
lives.
Just north of San Francisco, an area called 'The
Geysers'which is not unfamiliar to earthquake
swarms. However, a recent escalation in magnitude has
invited a heightened concern. A 3.7 magnitude quake
occurred on Feb. 20th which is a triggering signal for
seismologist to take note and monitor more closely.
Hundreds of small quakes measuring between .05
to 3.0 mag. have been rumbling for many days,
but it is Friday's 3.7 that has brought some attention
to this area north of San Francisco.

1-5-09 - Everyone was excited about this swarm of quakes that
started yesterday, but when I looked at the map from 9-18-08 I see that
its the same place. Since there is a huge swarm of quakes at
Yellowstone Park I wonder if they are connected underneath the earth. The
California map below has 521 quakes on it for the week, but the area
covered is much larger than the
Yellowstone quake area.
The quakes on
the map on the right is contained in the larger yellow square of northern
California which you see on the left.
This area is called 'The Geysers. This area is not unfamiliar to
quake swarms. However, a recent escalation in magnitude has invited a
heightened concern. A 4.2 magnitude quake occurred on 1-4-09, which is a
triggering signal for seismologists to take not and monitor more closely.
Hundreds of small quakes measuring between .05 to 3.0 magnitude have
been rumbling for many days, but it is yesterday's 4.2 that has brought
some attention to this area north of San Francisco.
9-18-08 - on this date I had a vision which told me that on 9-19-08 -
there would be an earthquake.
Nothing unusual there, but I was overcome with such exhaustion to get this
message - that was not normal.
Nothing BIG happened on the 19th, but take a look at this map which
is rather close to our house.
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON ALL DAY - THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 OF THEM SO
FAR TODAY
It's really hard to count the number of earthquakes on
that map and the quakes have not stopped - they are still continuing today
- not just yesterday.

Modest earthquake, not the 'Big One,'
rattles California
The Associated Press
Published: July 30, 2008
CHINO HILLS, California: Despite shaking a
large swath of Southern California, a magnitude 5.4
earthquake was not the "Big One" that scientists have long
feared. Still, it rattled nerves, causing people to vow to
step up their emergency preparations.
The quake, which was felt Tuesday from Los Angeles
to San Diego, caused only limited damage and minor
injuries, and served as a reminder of the seismic danger
below sprawling freeways and housing developments.
The epicenter was just outside Chino Hills, about 30
miles, or 50 kilometers, southeast of the center of Los
Angeles. Dozens of aftershocks followed.
"We were really fortunate this time," said Captain
Jeremy Ault of the Chino Valley Independent Fire District.
"It's a good opportunity to remember that we live in
earthquake country. This is part of living in Southern
California and we need to make sure we're prepared."
To prepare for the "Big One," scientists and
emergency planners will hold in the fall what is described
as the largest earthquake drill in the United States. It
will be based on a hypothetical magnitude 7.8 earthquake.

CNN) -- A
magnitude 5.2 earthquake shook a rural part of northern
California on Tuesday evening, according to the U.S.
Geological Survey.
The moderate quake hit shortly
after 8 p.m. (11 p.m. ET) about 11 miles east-southeast
of Willow Creek, which is about 190 miles northwest of
Sacramento.
Nita Rowley with the Williow
Creek Chamber of Commerce said she felt the earthquake
as a rolling jolt, but had not received any reports of
damage.
At the Humboldt County Sheriff's
Office in Eureka, Sgt. Diana Freese said several people
had called to ask whether a quake had struck. She said
the office had received no reports of injuries or
damage.
"It was a roll and a shake," she
said.

Willow Creek, California - 4-29-08
(AP) A moderate
earthquake hit a mountainous region of Northern
California on Tuesday night. There are no
immediate reports or injury or damage.
The magnitude-5.2 temblor struck at 8:03 p.m.,
centered about 11 miles southeast of the town of
Willow Creek in the Shasta-Trinity National
Forest, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Willow Creek is about 320 miles north of San
Francisco.
The quake originated about 11 miles below the
surface on an unmapped fault, said David
Oppenheimer, a USGS seismologist based in Menlo
Park.
Because of its depth, few aftershocks were felt,
scientists said. About three were recorded, with
the largest measuring a magnitude 2.4, the USGS
reported.
The quake was widely felt within about an
80-mile radius, as far north as the Oregon state
line and as far south as Mendocino County,
according to citizen reports posted on the USGS
Web site.
Mary Daher, owner of the Bigfoot Motel in Willow
Creek, said the quake lasted 10 seconds or less.
"It was pretty quick and it was pretty strong,"
Daher said. "It wasn't like one of those rolling
earthquakes. It was just a jolt."
She said she and her guests headed outside
quickly but she was not aware of any damage. One
guest said the quake sent his soda sliding
across a table.
The town of 1,800 sits on Highway 299, the main
conduit between Redding and Arcata, home of
Humboldt State University. It has long been a
draw for college students escaping the coastal
fog to sunbathe along the nearby Trinity River.
The quirky hamlet, surrounded by thick
forests, also markets itself as California's
"Bigfoot capital" and displays numerous wood
carvings of the mythical creature.
The last significant earthquake in the region
was on April 25, 1992, when a magnitude 7.2
temblor struck on the Humboldt County coast near
Petrolia, triggering a minor tsunami, according

1007 creepy crawling quakes
California must be moving quietly but consistently this week.
Guadalupe, Baja, Mexico
A moderate earthquake occurred at
11:12:07 PM (PST) on Friday, February 8, 2008.
The magnitude 5.4 event occurred 26 km (16 miles) NW of Guadalupe
Victoria, Baja California, Mexico.
The hypocentral depth is 7 km ( 4 miles).
There has been a swarm of quakes in this same spot
since the one above, at least 12 so far all in the 1 to 2 range. The
latest one in the last hour was a little larger and a little farther to
the southwest of the large one. .
Earthquake Rocks Baja California, Leaving
400000 Without Power
February 10, 2008
AP
MEXICO CITY - A moderate earthquake rocked Baja California, shutting
down factories near the U.S. border and leaving 400,000 people without
power into early Saturday, authorities said.
However, no major damage or injuries were reported.
The quake that struck at 11:12 p.m. Friday had a magnitude of 5.1,
according to the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo. It had
initially calculated the magnitude at 5.4.
The quake was centred 25 kilometres southeast of the border city of
Mexicali and 160 kilometres east of Tijuana.
"It has been felt pretty widely in Southern
California, southwestern Arizona and probably northern Mexico," said
USGS geophysicist Jessica Sigala.
It was followed by at least 25 smaller aftershocks.
The quake left about 400,000 people without electricity and 1.2 million
without cellular telephone service, but service was restored at around 4
a.m. local time, said Fire Capt. Rene Rosado, director of civil defence
in Mexicali.
About 80,000 workers were evacuated from or were unable to enter local
factories for Sony, Honeywell and other major corporations, he said, but
the factories had all reopened by Saturday afternoon.
Two bridges showed five-to seven-centimetre cracks and were closed until
engineers could determine they were safe, he said.
Rescue workers were examining Mexicali
schools, many of which are made of adobe, for cracks and other damage,
said Alfredo Escobedo, director of Baja California civil protection.
Oscar Vega, the state's education secretary, said classes were expected
to resume Monday, but his department would make an announcement when it
knows if the buildings are safe.
This quake is farther north than the red warning zone
below, but its size is phenomenal. 6.4 and that fits the warning
too.

Coastal damage from high waves, but probably not
connected to quake.
Manzanita, Oregon) - A magnitude 6.4 earthquake
occurred off the Oregon coast Wednesday night, as high winds and rain
began pummeling the region - both of which have turned out to be
uneventful.
At 5:37 p.m., the U.S. Geological Survey reported the
quake about 151 miles off the Oregon coast. It happened at a depth of
6.2 miles, and did not warrant a tsunami warning.
Police dispatchers in numerous coastal communities
said they had not received any calls from people who felt the quake.
The U.S. Coast Guard also reported no quake-related problems.
Breakers in Manzanita on Wednesday have been
enormous, thanks to high winds offshore which tend to make bigger
waves well ahead of the actual storm. Seas are reaching 17 foot
swells, making the frothy waves come almost up to the dunes of
this normally broad, sandy beach.
At around midnight on Wednesday, it is 50 degrees
with medium rain, and winds up and down the coast mostly around 25
– 40 mph. Occasional wind gusts as high as 70 mph have been
recorded in some spots.
