Hollywood earthquake is third in 10 days
Los Angeles Times ^ | February 8, 2014 | Jason Felch

A shallow magnitude 3.0 earthquake that was centered near Hollywood and shook parts of the Los Angeles basin Saturday morning was the third temblor to hit the area in the last two weeks. The latest quake occurred at 10:13 a.m. at a depth of 5.0 miles and was felt from the Westside to East L.A., said Anthony Guarino, a seismologist at Caltech. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the epicenter was near the intersection of Melrose and Virgil avenues, on the eastern edge of Hollywood. It was the third magnitude 3.0 or greater quake to hit that area in the last 10 days. “It’s pretty standard for L.A.,” Guarino said. “There are a lot of different faults there.” Clusters of small quakes are common in the Los Angeles basin, and generally don’t signify that the "big one" is coming, Guarino said. Every earthquake has a one in five chance of being a foreshock for a larger quake, he added. The odds of that decline quickly as time goes by. The region remains overdue for a massive quake. The southern section of the San Andreas Fault, which starts near the Salton Sea and runs north to Palmdale, has historically caused a large earthquake every 150 years on average. It has not ruptured since 1680.

Maybe Sodom and Gomorrah repeat is coming. It is truly due with their worship of pedophiles and Satanism and the sexualization of children.

I was hoping the whole state of CA would break off and float over to china where it belongs but an earthquake that destroyed Hollywood would work too

The thought did cross my mind. Of course, there have always been earthquakes and there are earthquakes around the world every day, but still...

Massive earthquakes in California could take down FR. Just a reminder for all those praying for California to fall into the sea.

My thoughts exactly.

La is west of the San Andreas, but it goes right through San Fran.

Maybe we'll get a twofer.

Have they been fracking in the L.A. basin? Because I hear that is now the only cause for earthquakes.

California’s insanity is imposed by two cities, LA and San Francisco. The rest of the state is basically Texas.

a 3.0 in California is a slight throat clearing in California for those wishing us dead and gone. There are tiny little earthquakes all the time in California. Basically this is non news to slight news at best. Sorry guys.

Even I want politics to change in this very lost, brain washed populace. But when God speaks this place and many others will not be mildly questioning or hoping. There'll be no doubt.

3.0 earthquakes are good. The more, the better. Multiple small earthquakes release the pressure that can cause 7.0 quakes. An earthquake is a mighty big hammer to wish upon the Hollywood left. Many more good people will suffer alongside them.
