Early this morning, at 12:58 AM, there was a mild 4.6 earthquake located 4 miles north-northwest of Chatsworth, Calif., in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. The depth of the quake was 3.4 miles, a shallow quake, and was felt over a large area.

Three aftershocks were recorded... a 1.8 magnitude at 1:14 AM, a 1.6 at 1:49 AM and a 1.8 mag at 2:42 AM.

I was awake during the main shock. It was brief, about 10 seconds, but easily felt. The aftershocks were too small to be felt.

We out here in California really can't complain about this morning's event... I haven't felt a quake for about 4-5 years.

:eek:

WOW, I did not feel it; but I had a couple of friends that did.
I am surprised you didn't feel it- it was felt as far south as Long Beach and as far east as Alhambra.
But don't feel bad for missing it! :D

I felt NOTHING! Then again, I was asleep. Must have been nothing if it didn't wake me. That's the thing abt these mild earthquakes, they get coverage like it is some rocking and rolling and buildings tumbling. :lol:

Fortunately, it looks like the aftershocks are dying out. And if we're lucky, there won't be another seismic event for quite a while.

Aftershocks too???? :lol:

Remember guys we are over due. When was the last good shaker? Was it the Landers quake?:wave:

That's funny. I was up at that time and didn't feel anything either, and I live in the valley.

same here I did not feel anything well probably slept through another one

I must had been dancing or something:lol:
Or something...;) :D


Jrnygrl you are right, we are overdue and that is what scares me. I can deal with these small tremblors and mini earthquakes, but it is those large ones like the Northridge quake that lurks in the back of my mind. :eek:

Remember guys we are over due. When was the last good shaker? Was it the Landers quake?:wave:
No, that was in 1992. The 6.7 magnitude Northridge was in 1994. And the 7.0 magnitude Hector Mine quake (in the desert) was 7.0.

Aftershocks too???? :lol:
There are always aftershocks after a quake of about magnitude 4 and stronger.
