Quake Watch 2013

My friend in Palm Springs , went jogging and has reported a huge quake just happened.
USGS, is lighting up!

USGS lists several of the recent So-Cal quakes as being only 0.1km's deep.

Very odd................2nd line!

A lot of quakes, my phone is notifying me of the HOOK!
First it was only local in Anza. Must be shaking things loose because it's shaking north of there now and closer to San Andreas. Now more little ones near Big Bear and C. Pendelton?

Would you call all of these small quakes aftershocks, or regionally triggered earthquakes? Seems awful widespread to me.
If I lived in the area, I would hold on. Something more substantial could be forthcoming.

I'm no expert but seeing as the biggest so far was only 4.7 I'd take that as a warning. I don't like doom and gloom but living in CA near the San Andreas I take everything as a warning. I'm prepared.

There was a thread here somewhere on a report of a methane odor in Southern California. (Wish I could remember the name of the thread or who posted it!)

I wonder if that was a preview of this quake? Is it leading up to another, bigger quake?

take a look a s cali... lighting up like its gonna sink!!

www.data.scec.org...

There was a moderately strong quake in the SoCal/Baja area a couple of years back and the same thing happened as now. The area rang like a cheap gong for over a month with several hundred small aftershocks a day and slowly tapered off.

That doesn't mean that is what is going to happen this time but there is a precedent for it.

That happened a few months back. I remember I could smell it all the way here in Newhall. Smelled like a cesspool leak!

I may have to turn my phone off, it's ringing every few minutes with EQ alerts. I'm counting on the map and it's about 3 every three minutes, Oy

It appears to be separate according to this. Different time and location

Hmmm yeah it seems USGS has removed one of the 4.7 and the 4.6, why?

There was only one, but it sure is swarming over there!

Keeping a close watch!

But it's not localized, seems like the entire lower San Bernardino/Riverside and San Diego are shaking. Strange. I keep hearing my condo creak even though we are far away. One of my dogs refused to get in her bed, whining at my feet. The other dog is a Derp and the ceiling could fall on it's head and it wouldn't bother her.

Orange County checking in. I felt nothing but now I'm a little on edge.
Keeping an eye on this for now

I'm with you, it is strange.
A mag 4.7 is catagorized as "light shaking", yet it seems to have activated faults within 100 kms. Plus, the largest aftershock I've seen is only a mag 2.7--that's 2 full points lower. Statistically, shouldn't we be be seeing a few 3.5's?

ETA: creeping upward a mag 2.8 aftershock at 18:25:46UTC


ETA: USGS has added this mag 3.2 directly following the main 4.7.....still a weird episode, regionally. I hope it settles down.

Do you think some sort of "alert" should/will be given for the Los Angeles region?

Well this is always interesting when events like this happen in a highly populated area... such as southern cali... i just dont understand why a 4.7 would included this many aftershocks... in my humble opinion by the end of the day there may be a much bigger earthquake than the 4.7 to talk about in this area..

That's why I'm a tad concerned after looking HERE it's lit up like a Christmas tree all over our neck of the woods.

Is something waking up? I sure hope not.

Long Valley Caldera waking up by any chance or even another volcano rumbling?
Two vlcanoes have errupted along the san andreas fault line today.
Is it another one?
And what about the 'smell' reported off California last week?

reply to post by Elliot


got a link to the two volcanos you say erupted today along the san andreas??
