Interesting that you couldn’t feel it yet they felt it over in Burbank and down in Long Beach.

Got a text from my daughter in Ventura. No damage.

5 is not insignificant, just kind of mid-level, but with the EQ building codes we have here in LA, it is doable. Plus it was off the coast. We are 50 miles inland but near the mountains and we did not feel it at all. The central basin and sedimentary fill the city is built on (downtown) transports waves farther than outcrops or bedrock.

By removing a $hit whole?

But I guess you knew I'd say that.

Don’t think so. Los Angeles is about 200 miles S & W of Fresno. Fresno is quite a ways from the ocean.

We’ve allegedly had three of that size around here in my
lifetime, and I’ve only felt one. The one that made those cracks at the top of the Washington Monument.

Perhaps you missed my last sentence that started with the word “Seriously”.

The date and time are in the lower left corner. Just look at that and move the curser and click until you reach the correct time. Have to go back and forth a little sometimes to hit the right spot. As of when I’m typing this, it isn’t quite halfway along the 4 hour timeline.

I’ve been watching these cams so long, I can find the times without even thinking.

Thanks, I didn’t see the date and time on there as it is black and blended in with the background. I did find the exact time of the tremors at 12:27:55pm. I see that’s what you wrote too, but I am so used to fast forwarding a youtube video 12 minutes and 27 secnds which is what I wrongly thought you originally meant.

Glad you were able to find it.

Watching so many bird cams, the YT 4-hour previews are handy because I can go to the spots in the videos where there’s activity. Watch activity at one nest for a few minutes, then go to another cam to check activity there. Nice to be able to keep up with all the birds.

Since I use multiple windows, I sometimes just leave a video going to enjoy the sounds while reading news or emails and that’s what happened today. I heard the racket and went back to check it out. Still didn’t know what happened until I saw this thread posted.

Off to a meeting now but will check on everything when I get back. It looks like there haven’t been any big aftershocks at this point at least.
