Question

Was there a earthquake in Calif today?

Answer 1

It was a 5.4 and centered in Chino Hills, some 30 miles ESE of downtown LA and didn't occur very far down, only 9 miles deep.  Very minor damage, some windows broken and stuff falling off of shelves.  They suspect that it was along the Whittier fault line which had a quake several years ago.

Answer 2

I heard it was centered about 6 miles east of L.A. and registered as a 5.4.

30 miles ESE of LA?  Shows you how much the news I watch knows!  :)

Sorry about telling you incorrect info, I live in Washington State and the news I saw said about 6 miles east of L.A.  Obviously they were wrong.

Answer 3

yep.

It was felt throughout Southern California and some parts of Nevada. It happened today, exactly @ 11:42am

I was LA at the time of the earthquake. At first, It was a slow rumbling beneath the earth. Gradually, it went away. I was frantic! I think that was my first earthquake. O.o

After that, we turned on the news and we were told to expect aftershocks. I didn't feel any one of them. I heard there was slight damage in property. However, only minor injuries were reported, three at an outpatient medical clinic in Brea and five at a building in the Wilshire district of Los Angeles.

The quake gives new urgency to a drill, the Great Southern California Shakeout, being planned for November by a consortium of public and private organizations. It will simulate the response to a magnitude 7.8 quake on the San Andreas fault.

Thank God, it's magnitude was 5.4! At first, they said 5.8, but Caltech officals lowered it.

Obviously, it's all over the media and it's been the topic of conversation ever since the minute it ended.

Take a look at  latimes . com

it looks super interesting.

The story is on the front page.

Answer 4

Yes, there wasssssss.

It was about 7 miles beneath the surface a little southwest of Chino Hills, close to Disneyland.

It was a magnitude 5.4.

I was talking to my mom in the office in our house about horoscopes when we felt two jolts and instantly ran for the doorway. It was like a rolling sensation for ten seconds, and then it went away, and we instantly grabbed shoes and ran downstairs, ready to run out the door if another happened. We turned on Channel 4 to see what had happened, and I felt all three of the aftershocks mentioned that were 3.8s.

But yeah, it wasn't major. =]
