As the turtles proceed westward...

And one more small earthquake, this one a 3.0 located a few blocks west of the last two and about a km deeper. Reported in Did You Feel It?, and also  found the UGS earthquake/fault map and have been playing with it - here's what they show for those three quakes.  (Including that the two announced at the same spot weren't, quite, but after all this whole segment is about 3-4,000 feet across at most.)  The blue circle on the lower right is the first, the orange in the middle the second, and the white one the other side of Lincoln Blvd is the third.



And in a wider scale,here's the area.  I've marked LAX and my place.



And I should really stop playing with the maps and go grocery shopping.  Out of area readers please do not View with Alarm - this happens a lot (though usually further away than I can feel it.)

Got any in the northeastern US, or the east coast? They actually get more trouble from things like hurricanes (which we don't get), blizzards and the like. I think everybody gets floods, but ours aren't that bad as long as people have the sense to stay OUT of the channels. Earthquakes are a bigger danger in areas where they don't happen often enough for people to make and heed proper building codes (the last time we had a building collapse in an earthquake (1994) it was not to code, and practically on top of the epicenter. There were a freeway bridge and some parking garages as well - codes were as usual updated, we did a lot of retrofitting, the usual) But it's a lot easier to deal with than hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, heavy winters, floods and the other endemic disasters of other parts of the country. (Ok, we get floods too, though they're usually contained.)

None that I'm aware of. They're all out west, last I knew.
