How strange that there was a big earthquake in the Los Angeles area today. I think it was a 5.8 magnitude. The center of the quake was actually about 30-35 miles east of downtown L.A., but a quake that strong is felt for many miles away. I heard that people in San Diego felt the tremors.
First reports say that there was minimal damage and that only a few people suffered minor injuries. That’s a blessing. I hope the early reports stand true. Often in a natural disaster the injury and damage reports increase dramatically over the first 24 hours.
Usually it’s northern California that gets more earthquake action, but there are serious fault lines that run down the entire length of the state. I checked the USGS web site and there have been 67 aftershocks today in that same immediate area. Those poor people must be frantic by now.
