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

There is always a lot of activity on the Ring of Fire and Yellowstone continues to slumber with no signs of any impending change... over time the caldera will swell and shrink with tiny temblors and constant geothermal activity. Most likely the one that gets us is the one we're not gonna see coming.

I have an Earthquake meter gadget. There has been a lot of activity all along the Pacific Rim, lately. Let's hope "Mount Wilshire" isn't in our immediate future. Just think, California also has the possibility of a Volcano popping up somewhere. But according to that gadget, Yellowstone is becoming more active. LOL. I wonder if that caldera is continuing to rise. Think I'll eat another dill pickle...

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 motionTime: December 3, 1988 / 3:38 am PSTLocation: 34° 8.47' N, 118° 7.96' W Directly below the city of Pasadena. Magnitued: M_L5.0Fault Involved: Raymond faultDepth: 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.
