One hit right off the coast of O’side when I lived there. It was the middle of the night. I was out of bed and on my feet before my eyes were even opened. You can hear rumbling and everything rattles.
Did Michael Moore visit San Diego?
I don’t think so. It did say “moderate” in the headline! :^)
With all the recent activity was this a precursor to the “big one”?
I dont think so. It did say moderate in the headline! :^)
4.2 is starting to sound pretty wimpy after recent events.
Is the red line heading north from the star - the San Andreas fault ..??
I thought it was closer to the coast .. so I’m curious what fault line that is.
.
That is a fault line but the San Andreas is actually east(inland) from there.
