Re: [californiadisasters] Earthquake I Experienced 24 Years Ago Yesterday

Welcome to the heart of earthquake country. Be patient you will get rocked soon, and maybe so rocked that you will want to go back to where you came from. HA

Do you have your dangles up yet on the ceiling? If not, invest in a couple wind chimes and have them dangle from your ceiling, those are good earthquake felt devices. They help me when I am not sure if its a quake or not, I look at mine when they sways then I know it just rocked ( not good when you have a fan blowing by it). Plus when we get a real good size quake they make great sounds during it :-) 

Did you get your poster map of the fault lines in California  and put it on your wall with the push pins and red flags for it yet?  I have one and use the pins and flags on it. ( it helps you get to know your faults and where they are at)

Did you go to the nearest fault near you and jump up and down on it yet? Got to do that just for fun and see if you trigger a quake :-)

Enjoy one of the rockest places on the earth :-)

I've only been living in California for six days now. I really cannot wait until I get quaked really good! So far there have been like, magnitude 1s all over Southern California lately. Of course, I'm quite realistic about this. I don't expect earthquakes everyday.

Type of Faulting: left-lateral strike-slip, with very minor reverse motion
Time: December 3, 1988 / 3:38 am PST
Location: 34° 8.47' N, 118° 7.96' W Directly below the city of Pasadena.
Magnitued: M_L5.0
Fault Involved: Raymond fault
Depth: 15.6 km

 Apart from its effects on local residents, this quake was notable for a few seismological details. First, it was followed by an unusually small number of aftershocks for a quake of its magnitude, the largest of which was hardly noticable -- only a magnitude 2.4 (unless the Montebello earthquake is considered an aftershock of this event). Second, it served to bring the debate over the sense of motion of the Raymond fault closer to an end, by providing a clear example of left-lateral movement most likely located along that fault.
