La Habra and Brea are about 4 miles apart. Brea had a series of earthquakes a few months ago. The 4.4 near Westwood was on a previously unknown fault.

Obviously, you're making God angry. Better stop.

Preliminary data suggest Friday night's 5.1 magnitude earthquake occurred near the Puente Hills thrust fault, which stretches from the San Gabriel Valley to downtown Los Angeles and caused the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, Jones said.

Dear daughter doesn't remember the REALLY big ones from when she was little... Northridge, Whittier, Landers, and Hector Mine. Just a reminder from Mother Nature that I better speed up on my preparations!

I wonder what some ppl at work are going to say. Because of the quakes at both ends of a rather long line of faults (Yorba Linda, many 3+ quakes, and Westwood 4.1) I very definitively said that I thought there was going to be a big quake sometime in the next 6 months on that same fault, somewhere in-between... yanno, somewhere near my house!

This isn't really what I had in mind. I meant BIG, not moderate. I still think we're going to have a big one sometime in the next six months. Yep- time to get those preparations completed!

Puente Hills Blind Thrust Fault- the REALLY Big One!

I wish the graph wasn't so cryptic- I think SFS is Santa Fe Springs, and CH is Chino. I wonder what the W^0 and W^2 mean.

Rappy, in case you didn't know, the Richter scale is logarithmic. So for every unit of 1 the scale goes up, the earthquake intensity is 10 times greater. That makes our recent 5.1 earthquake 10 times larger than your 4.1. Just sayin'.

The TV news we'd seen here said no damage, but then I find that folks in Fullerton were displaced by structural damage to homes and apartments.

They were just copy/ paste off the USGS website. If you google . did you feel it . you'll go directly to a webpage that lists earthquakes and allows you to register what you felt, what damage occurred (if any) etc. It allows them to gather statistical information on Richter, moments, and surface effects, perception and injuries.

It wasn't quite as violent where I live compared to others, but it was just the right frequency to rock items off of shelves, counter tops etc for about 10-15 seconds. And after that the ground quivered like a bowl of jello for about a minute.

Anyway ... what I posted was just a listing of very recent significant earthquakes, all separate and all on different faults.

Whozit- those little 3,4, and 5-point quakes don't release enough energy to stop a big one. As KIKI mentioned, the scale is logarithmic, so we would need to experience 1000 5-point quakes before it released as much energy as a 7-point. Haven't had 1000 5-point quakes lately, so the big one is still waiting in the wings.

So, when there is a REALLY big one... I don't mean a 7-point on the infamous San Andreas fault, I mean a 7-point on the Puente Hills fault... the Los Angeles metro area will be out of commission for at least two weeks - no water, no electricity, no gas, no food, no roads, no ambulances, no medicine, no nothing for miles and miles and miles. Not a Superstorm Sandy, more like a Hurricane Katrina or a Hurricane Haiyan. 'Cause we all know in So Cal, or at least we all SHOULD know, that the Big One is in our future, we just don't know when. Everyone should be prepared to survive on their own. Not for the three days that people are told, but for about two weeks, because that is about as long as it takes to get emergency services to all parts of a really big disaster. That's what I'm aiming to do, at least as long as I live here. (If I were living elsewhere, I'd be preparing for something different- in Buffalo, it would be blizzards, spring floods, and the occasional oddball tornado.)

That would be magnitudeS. When you're talking about two or more, you need to use plurals.
