.5 Quake On Puente Hills Thrust Fault Could [Could] Be Disastrous
A .5 is very series! Oh, the Hugh Manatee!
Beebers are stuned!
0.5 Quake? Isn’t that like, a cat jumping off a porch somewhere? [Ask the Mods to fix the title.]
7.5 would be destructive most anywhere, even Japan where they reasonably anticipate one of that magnitude every few years. Hopefully the recent earthquakes have relieved stress.
Gad, you’ve got to love the hyperbole attached to ANY news item. We have a 5.1 EQ - fairly insignificant in a place with great structural engineers and know-how. ‘We COULD all die.” There is a snowstorm - ‘It’s the end of the world as we know it, IF it snows forever.” We have a drought - ‘The land could shrivel up and blow away.” Coupled with, of course - ‘No amount of rain will ever be enough.”
Not sure I could feel a .5. That’s about like an SBD.
.5 is nothing..now 7.5 could be disastrous..that fault line goes from Puente Hills all the way to Downtown LA..imagine if Northridge instead of it being at 4:30AM had happened at 4:30PM, the death toll would have been much higher
In Whittier, adjacent the south slope, they're called the Whittier Hills.
It’s Bush’s FAULT.
(Can’t believe I said it first on this thread...)
I give this an 8 on the honking hoot scale...

Save yourself and get the AM to change it.
Yellowstone is moving & shaking too. This morning had a 5.1.
I.B.M.C.T.
According to someone on another quake thread, these 5s are good because they release the tension that could build up to a 7. Sounds logical.
Women and minorities hardest hit.
WHAT DO WE WANT?
SEISMIC JUSTICE!
