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

Kylie,

There is an old saying: "Beware what you hope for... you might get your wish".

That is always communicated in an ominous tone as getting what we want is often something we end up regretting. You will not wish to feel an earthquake while laying trapped in rouble!

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.
