Magnitude-5.1 earthquake shakes parts of Southern California
12m

A magnitude-5.1 earthquake centered in Ventura County rattled parts of Southern California Sunday.

The USGS reported there were at least four aftershocks of magnitude-3.0 or greater. The earthquake was centered about four miles southeast of Ojai, about 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

Shaking was reported in Malibu, Porter Ranch, parts of Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach and other locations.

There were no immediate reports of significant damage.

yes, Im going thru both right now. We are getting aftershocks. I posted another thread already.

I will post local hurricane updates and any new earthquakes here.

Duck and cover. Haven't been in an earthquake in ages. Is that how it's still done? Or are there new ways now?

I've been watching the Lax and Long beach web cam and the storm is nothing but our friends in the foothills say there has been a lot of rain , Funny but not Funny I asked in another thread if all the rain could cause an Earthquake well guess what there was a quake , And to be honest a 5. anything is a pretty normal quake , I lived there for 30 years rinse and repeat .

Not when you are 3.5 miles from it.

The worse one I can remember was North Ridge tossed water out of my fish tank in Cypress

a reply to: Ravenwatcher

That one was awful. We lost power for days.

I was gonna link to dutch's twitch but ill spare everyone the drama, he did predict this though...

I have never felt an earthquake but, this site says that there have only been 4 EQ's larger than 4.5 since sept. 2020.
Not that many reported over 4.4 in almost 10 years

It came as a huge surprise being prepared and watching for the hurricane to arrive. It was the LAST thing I was thinking about.

Apologies, mods please close, we have an ATS reporter on location...


I got distracted and missed that. LOL, I shouldn't post while I'm preparing dinner...

counting 10 aftershocks

I think for the most part they end up down grading them after the fact , I've been through a couple af large ones "San Fran" North Ridge " Lived in Cali for 30 years before moving - Some are kinda scary because you look at each other and go is this going to stop ? Mainly just throwing water out of pool's and such unless you are really close to the center . I'll take a quake anyday over a tornado .

a reply to: Ravenwatcher

ive seen 2 tornados in my life, thankfully both from a distance. 1st one was while I was driving cross country in 1994, the 2nd was here in central Florida, just a little one (LOL?) back in 2010

Been through my share of hurricanes though, both here in FL. and up north in MA.
Next one that comes by ill be sure to take some videos for everyone.

I think i was about 10 when Gloria came through Mass, the eye went right over where i was living, such an amazing thing it really got me addicted to storms.
There used to be the HUGE old willow tree with a massive trunk, the next day it was just gone. NOT knocked over or broken apart, the whole thing was GONE, all that was left was a hole in the ground that iIgot stuck in and couldn't climb out of without help.

In Andrew i intentionally went down to Hyannis, cape cod with my older brother, the town was in the ocean, we were boogie boarding down ocean street in waist deep water

Edit to add: i may not be afraid hurricanes but i will NEVER chase a tornado...

a reply to: putnam6

We were minutes apart, and I wouldn't have said anything other than me being practically at ground zero on the quake and watching dark clouds rolling in. I did a search first too. No big deeel.

I let the mods know and told them I would post updates on either thread.

This one has more comments so we can see which they choose.

Is now the best time to be purchasing Aftershock bottles of liquor and indulging?

a reply to: Ravenwatcher

This one was 5.0, then 5.5 then back to 5.1

I guess they estimate and then triangulate with different stations until they arrive at the final answer.

Hurricanes or even powerful storms can trigger quakes by adding energy to fault lines. That is a pretty well accepted relationship in the study of quakes.

a reply to: rickymouse

It had not started raining even where ground zero is. I live really near ground zero.

My dogs acted spooked all morning and now it makes sense. There were fore shocks and after shocks every 45 minutes.

Before the quake, the weather here wasnt anything but dead calm, dead quiet and humid. It started raining shortly after.

That's pretty awesome, and scary to think about.

Energy travels through water sometimes without even making a wave. An earthquake triggers a tidal wave, but the energy just flows through the water and then hits somewhere, causing a tidal wave to be produced. If it is not strong enough to cause a high wave, it can still hit the shore and cause ground currents to increase, that can travel to a fault line too. There are all sorts of things that can contribute to weather patterns forming plus seismic activity to occur. Exciting a bond by adding energy is common, breaking a bolt free with added energy from an impact wrench actually excites the bond and it lessens the attraction between the bolt and nut...this relates how things effect tectronics too. Even forest fires can alter ground currents, fire is just a chemical reaction that steers and channels ions.

All Ive ever heard about 'earthquake weather' from scientists is that there isn't such a thing.

Maybe there is something to it. But we didn't have "this weather" in Ojai until this morning and it didn't even start yet.

Im skeptical and think it was coincidence. But I hope it doesn't happen again!
