Earthquake Rattles Southern California
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER

LOS ANGELES — A moderately strong earthquake shook Southern California on
Tuesday, swaying buildings and tossing food off grocery store shelves for
about 20 seconds. There were no immediate reports of major injuries or
structural damage.

The quake, estimated at 5.4 magnitude (reduced from an initial estimate
of 5.8), was centered 35 east of downtown Los Angeles in Chino Hills,
just south of Pomona in San Bernardino county. It was felt as far east as
Las Vegas and as far south as San Diego.

Cellphone lines were jammed throughout the region as people began to
frantically make calls in the immediate moments after the powerful jolt.
Schools, office buildings, tourist attractions like Disneyland and other
facilities were evacuated temporarily as people braced for aftershocks,
which were numerous and in some cases were as strong as 3.8 magnitude,
while the Los Angeles City Council stopped to regroup.

Residents adjusted to that eerie, off-putting sensation of having rolled
from side to side on the rollers that are common in seismically
engineered buildings, which can leave buildings swaying for several
seconds after the quake.

The shake was strong enough to knock pictures off walls and rattle
windows, but there appeared to be little damage near the earthquake’s
epicenter.

In Riverside, two women suffered minor head injuries from people climbing
under tables.

Denise Cattern, a spokeswoman for the Chino Hills city government, a few
miles from the epicenter, said that there were no report of major damage
or injuries, but that residents and businesses were reporting lots of
things falling from walls and shelves.

“Our nerves have been rattled,” she said, adding that in the aftermath,
“everything seems to be fine.”

Elizabeth Cespuglio, 17, of Corona, about eight miles from where the
quake struck, said she was at home watching television and working on her
computer when the shaking began. It began as a gentle roll, she said,
that grew stronger and accompanied a loud vibration that was unlike the
small tremors she has become accustomed to through living in Southern
California. She said she ran to a doorframe, as experts advise.

“I always kind of liked quakes when they were tiny,” Ms. Cespuglio said
by telephone. “But after it lasted longer, it kind of freaked me out.”

Two pictures, an eight-by-six and another that was slightly larger, fell
from a wall in an adjacent bedroom, she said, but they did not break, and
saw no other damage to the house. She said a small aftershock was felt a
few minutes later.

The last powerful earthquake to shake the region — among the most the
seismically active in the world — was the 1994 Northridge earthquake,
which registered at 6.7 magnitude and produced the highest ground
acceleration ever recorded in an urban area in America.

Sorry if anyone in here lives out in that area but I have to say- why
in the world would people live out there especially the ones along the
worst fault line in the history of the world? It just doesn't make
sense to me. I could give all kinds of analogies that would make it
sound even funnier. Everyone and their grandma **knows** it is just a
matter of time before the big one flattens and kills many people and
here is the kicker IMO.....they choose to live there? They warned and
I had read for the last ten years about the Louisiana area. Sure
enough everything happened just like the experts warned about. I guess
I am missing something. ;-)

It's just a matter of time before a hurricane reeks havoc on New York
City; should they evacuate now?

Southern California has the best weather in the country. The earthquake
risk is part of the price one pays for living in paradise. Regardless
of the ridiculous coverage in the national press, virtually nobody here
thought it was a very big deal.

America can't afford to lose the Ports in and near New Orleans, about
30% of America's Shipping depends on those Shipping Ports in that area
near the mouth of the Mississippi River.I have been to California twice
before back in the 1960s when I was in the Army.I like California A OK.

A 'paradise' Built on Destroying the Natural Environment.
Every Drop of Water that is Imported into Southern

Have you truly read and researched about this subject matter other
than major motion picture or books of fiction? I am serious when I say
this. You may do this in the field of work that you do. I don't- I
just try an use common sense. From what I have read it would
'literally' take an act of God for a storm pattern to do to New York
what Hollywood book writers try an portray is going to happen in the
near future. Now for sake of conversation, could it happen? Sure it
could. But if you know anything about weather patterns and such it
would .......like I said.....be an act of God. In that case, nothing
is going to stop it.


Southern California has the best weather in the country.

No doubt. Just about everytime I hear or read about the weather in
California it is nice. The day after the crap hits the fan and every
major press/journalist is over there.....in the background it will
look like a postcard. Of course minus the destroyed home/buildings/
highways and death etc. etc. etc. Again - many analogies could now be
written- but I won't waste the bandwidth. ;-)


*The earthquake
risk is part of the price one pays for living in paradise.

I noticed the ironic choice of words there. **earthquake/risk/price/
paradise** It is like those four words don't belong in the same
sentence but alas they are. That is what I am saying - again not to
sound mean- because just like Louisiana- you think that was bad?
LOL....dude that was childs play compared to what is going to happen
to the western area. It may sound harsh but when it does go down - and
it will- chances are (using my crystal ball again) I will be slowly
sipping my coffee and shaking my head and rolling my eyes - like "DUH"
don't act like this wasn't expected...lol. No- I am not sending anyone
money either.


*Regardless

Indeed it was ridiculous. That size of quake isn't nothing - I also
believe nobody there felt it was a big deal because I know for a fact
that it wasn't a big deal and I live in Cincinnati- imagine that.

A disaster can strike one part of town and life goes on elsewhere. When
you're a hundred miles wide by sixty miles high that's how it is.
