L.A.’s Earthquake: A Warning Sign?

On July 29, at 11:42 a.m., the ground shook for about 20 second at the strongest intensity in Southern California since the Northridge earthquake of 1994. The 5.4 seism’s epicenter was at Chino Hills, Los Angeles County.

Although this was considered a “moderate†earthquake and did not cause major damage, it reminded everyone that “The Big One†is expected by scientists any time.

According to the Uniform California Earhquake Rupture Forecast, there is a 99 percent chance of California experiencing a 6.7 or larger earthquake within the next 30 years.

The aftershock was felt throughout Southern California, including San Diego, and even as far as Las Vegas.

Here on the Westside, residents felt it strongly, but no damage or injuries were reported.

Brentwood workers at 11661 San Vicente, including the Westside Today team had just finished an emergency drill exercise and had returned to their offices, when the ground started shaking.

Jeffrey S. Hall, Editor-in-Chief

“I was having a very busy morning when it hit,†said Jeff Hall, publisher and editor-in-chief of Westside Today. “I ran outside, and when I felt we were out of danger, went back to work. Half an hour later, I had forgotten all about it!â€

Other staff members were a little more affected by the quake:
“When it happened, I was outside placing a phone call. I felt like I had just gotten out of a roller coaster,†Albert Rodriguez said, “I was pretty shocked. I think it is a wake up call for Los Angeles and made me more aware that The Big One is coming.â€
