Click on the image to enlarge. A 4.6 magnitude earthquake and a 4.7 magnitude earthquake hit early this afternoon 65 miles northeast of San Diego. One of the quakes was a shallow quake. Preliminary readings show it less than one mile below the surface. The time is 12:56 PM EDT, or 9:56 local time. The quakes was felt 110 miles to the west in Los Angeles. The first quake was near Anza, the second by Palm Springs. There are some reports now of a third earthquake. It’s only been 1/2 hour, but no injuries reported as of now.
Glad we don’t have to deal with these at this level in Michigan
Yea, officials report at possible 2.3 aftershock
If you go here – you can see the 7 earthquakes they’ve had as of this moment :http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/
I’m glad we live where we may seldom only feel an aftershock and that’s about it. Earthquakes are scary.
