What magnitude was the los angeles earthquake today?”
Los Angeles Earthquake: 4.4 Hits California – Is it just me, or are there a sudden increase in earthquakes these days? Southern California, just east of Los Angeles experienced a 4.4 magnitude earthquake this morning, March 16th, 2010 at an alarming 4:04 am. There have been no injuries reported, no loss of lives, and no damage found from the near minute long rumble. The frequency of quakes may be the bigger concern, and after recent Haiti and Chile tragedies, a small 4.4 is still rather unsettling. Many residents slept right through the shaking, but some were nonetheless a little frightened. Time magazine predicted Los Angeles to be next for a major, devastating quake based on geological record.
4.4 magnitude earthquake hits Southern California: A magnitude of 4.4 earthquake rattled Southern California early Tuesday morning. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, its epicenter is 11 miles east-southest of the Los Angeles Civic Center. The earthquake struck 4:04 AM. Police and fire officials said they had received call from residents awakened by the quake. “First it was a small one and then a big one,” said Chris Curiel, who was working at the Vallejo Mini Market in Whittier, a town near the epicenter. “It felt like the floor was sinking.” There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, authorities said.
