"It's a regular sort of earthquake that we expect somewhere in Southern California," Jones told KTLA. "Magnitude 5.3 is a size that happens on average about once a year in Southern California."
To re-re-purpose a cliche, sometimes an earthquake is just an earthquake. It would take a massive amount of explosives to simulate the energy of an earthquake, but nothing can simulate the depth.
I am interested in all those very shallow earthquakes at Isla Vista, the location of the UC Santa Barbara dorms and frats. Maybe their parties are getting out of hand!
