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.

I kept checking USGS today and it was downrated: it is quite common for the initially reported reading to change as more data is crunched. As to Eduardo..........even a blind squirrell finds an acorn now & again. From the USGS: A magnitude-5.4 earthquake rattled Los Angeles today, causing strong shaking, minor damage and was felt from Arizona to Nevada. Nearly 50 aftershocks have been recorded so far, most of them small, many of them felt, the largest being a magnitude-3.8. The last notable earthquakes causing significant damage in the area were the Jan. 17, 1994, magnitude-6.7 Northridge earthquake and the Oct. 1, 1987, magnitude-5.9 Whittier Narrows earthquake. In 1999, the magnitude-7.1 Hector Mine earthquake in a remote part of the Mojave Desert was widely felt through the greater Los Angeles region, but caused no damage. |

There on the first floor it was a side to side rolling motion so doors started swinging and being such I concluded the epicenter was some distance away. The rolling motion peaked in amplitude in about 7 seconds and from that to about 15 seconds was fading when I felt a second jolt that then began to fade in another 15 seconds so over all it was 20 to 30 seconds of rolling motion in Ventura. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

I remember hearing in school back in 84 about susceptible areas that were target rich disasters areas that hadn't happened yet but were *without a doubt* going to happen. Louisiana was either the number one or two and of course the other was out in the Calif./LA region. I don't mean to sound like a bad person or anything but when it does happen- and it will happen- they will have every press and newspaper person over there showing the deaths and homeless people. Like clockwork the begging for money and concerts for aid will start. now I am putting my crystal ball back in the closet ;-) |

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 earthquakes 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.
