A strong earthquake shook Southern California on Tuesday, causing buildings to sway and triggering some precautionary evacuations. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The jolt was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego, across the border in Tijuana, Mexico and slightly in Las Vegas. The 11:42 a.m. quake was initially estimated at 5.8 by the U.S. Geological Survey but was revised downward to 5.4. More than a dozen aftershocks quickly followed, the largest estimated at magnitude-3.8. The quake was centered 29 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles near the San Bernardino County city of Chino Hills, and was estimated to be about 8 miles below the earth's surface. "It will certainly cause cracked plaster and broken windows, but probably not structural damage," said Seismologist Kate Hutton at the USGS office in nearby Pasadena. The magnitude-5.9 Whittier Narrows quake in 1987 was the last big shake in that area. That quake heavily damaged older buildings and houses in communities east of Los Angeles. "We had forgotten what a big earthquake felt like, at least I did," Hutton said. "It's a drill for the big one that's going to happen someday." The Governor's Office of Emergency Services had received no damage or injury reports, said spokesman Kelly Huston in Sacramento. Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said there were no immediate reports of damage or injury in Los Angeles. San Bernardino and San Die ... Source: www.kentucky.com --- 21 days ago
The latest in plywood-reinforced walls, tied-down foundations, strengthened concrete and stronger welds - if an earthquake had to hit somewhere in densely populated Southern California, this relatively new suburb of 80,000 people was about the best place possible. Chino Hills was just a few miles from the epicenter of Tuesday's magnitude-5.4 quake, yet it withstood the shaking with almost no damage at all, even while other communities farther away saw fallen bricks, cracked walls and windows, warped door frames and broken water mains and gas lines. One big reason: Chino Hills went up mostly in the 1990s and was built to the stringent earthquake standards that the state wants to see adopted everywhere across California before the Big One strikes. "I was wandering around out there after the quake and it struck me that there's no building there that's more than 10 years old. They're all built to the most recent codes, and I think that's true of the whole Chino area," said Lucy Jones, a Seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. "The type of earthquake that used to be a major event just isn't anymore." Since the 1930s, California has gradually boosted its building standards. Each severe quake has prompted new rules, with the most recent major overhaul coming after the 1994 quake in the Northridge section of Los Angeles that killed 72 people. ...

We're supposed to know it as a fact, and we've learned it in school: no one, not even the best Seismologist, can predict when and where an earthquake will strike, as well as its exact magnitude. And yet, even the supposedly well-informed get rattled when they receive e-mails or text messages that an earthquake will strike a certain area, on a certain day and at an exact time. ...

Despite rattling a large swath of Southern California, Tuesday's magnitude-5.4 earthquake was not the "Big One" that scientists have long feared. But the jolt that shook nerves from Los Angeles to San Diego occurred during what scientists say has been a relatively quiet seismic period since the deadly 1994 Northridge quake. "It's the first one we've had in a populated area for quite a long time," said Kate Hutton, a Seismologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. ...

The magnitude 5.4 earthquake that jolted Southern California late Tuesday morning appears to have been generated by the “Yorba Linda trend,” a little-known seismic zone that extends from northeast Yorba Linda through the Chino Hills and into the Chino basin, says Caltech Seismologist Egill Hauksson.

The recent earthquake in Southern California unearthed a reason to celebrate. Not because it wasn't the Big One, or even the Pretty Big One, but because so few media outlets measured it on the Richter scale. Charles F.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A magnitude-5.4 earthquake has struck just east of Los Angeles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.Officials say there are no immediate reports of damage or injuries.The epicenter was 3 miles west-southwest of Chino Hills and 28 miles east-southeast of the Los Angeles Civic Center, which is in downtown Los Angeles, the USGS reports.The epicenter was about 8.5 miles deep. In general, earthquakes closer to the surface produce stronger shaking and can cause more damage than those farther underground. The quake struck at 11:42 a.m. (2:42 p.m. ET), according to the USGS. Kate Hutton, a staff Seismologist at Caltech, said 11 aftershocks followed, with 3.8 being the largest and the only one felt, the Los Angeles Times reported.The quake's magnitude classification fluctuated as seismologists reviewed the data. Initially classified as a magnitude 5.8, the quake's intensity was reduced to a 5.6 and then to a 5.4. Because the earthquake magnitude scale is exponential, a 5.8 magnitude quake is four to five times more intense than a 5.4. A 5.4 magnitude quake is considered by the USGS to be "moderate," which can cause slight damage to buildings and others structures. About 500 can happen globally each year, the survey says.There were no immediate reports of injury or damage in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey told The Associated Press. San Bernardino County fire dispatch did not ... Source: www.pogge.ca --- 46 days ago

Mount St. Helens finally stopped erupting last week...a mere four years after it began. The crater started trembling on Sept. 23, 2004, but it was only this month that scientists said that the eruption was finally over, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer tells us. Everyone had been fearing a reprise of the 1980 catastrophe when the tremors first began. (CNN kept cutting away from Kerry vs. Bush to the steaming mountain, the story notes .) But Mount St. Helens has confounded the world's volcanists by keeping it at a slow burn for the past 40 months: More than anything, scientists say, Mount St. Helens showed the world how gentle a killer can become. It came in like a lamb. It went out like a lamb. It hardly even burped. "There was very little volume of gas," said [geologist] Dan Dzurisin. What made this eruption so sedate and calm? The lava swelled and cooled in formations that were similar to previous eruptions, but at a rate that was more akin to toothpaste oozing from a tube than the cover of Dianetics. Scientists are still crunching the data on the crater's aberrent behavior, and it may be a while yet before they come to any conclusions, the story concludes: "It's really difficult from our perspective of having our nose right down in it," [University of Washington Seismologist Steve] Malone said.
