The magnitude 4.4 earthquake that struck near Westwood is the most significant shake in Southern California since a 5.5 earthquake hit Chino Hills in 2008, a U.S. Geological Survey seismologist told reporters at a news conference Monday morning.

Robert Graves said there have been at least six aftershocks since the 6:25 a.m. earthquake. The largest so far has been a magnitude 2.7 earthquake that struck five miles northwest of Westwood.

“hurricanes and floods”

Not a large issue in NM.

And do get a sense of humor.

I have been worried. My friends felt a small one just north of Bakersfield yesterday. Now this 4.4 in the SFV. Prayers that the plates calm again. The Norhhridge quakes (6.7, 6.7 in about a one minute span) were over 20 years ago.

All of the time I was stationed in San Diego the MOST I EVER “felt” was a 3.1(All I “felt” was a litte “Wiggle”). I was RIPPED OFF!

Ditto....I’m ultra conservative and live VERY close to the epicenter today.......probably no more than a 20 minute drive.
Lots of very good people here among the thorns.
PRAY for our CITY...that’s what we need.

I believe Jim and FreeRepublic are in the Central Valley, even if the entire coast was to break away, the Central Valley would remain.

When was the last time there was actually a fore shock to a large earthquake?

This is a family site.

” believe Jim and FreeRepublic are in the Central Valley, even if the entire coast was to break away, the Central Valley would remain.”

See FR would have valuable beachfront property!

All would be well.

Thanks for your link.

Does anyone know of a live feed for earthquakes on the East coast?

Maybe this is the impetus to split California into several states?

Let me sign that note, too. Over 4 million Californians voted Republican in 2012. I have met some of the finest and bravest conservatives here in CA.
