The magnitude 4.4 earthquake that struck near Westwood is the most significant shake in Southern California since a 5.5 earthquake hit Chino Hills in 2008, a U.S. Geological Survey seismologist told reporters at a news conference Monday morning.

Robert Graves said there have been at least six aftershocks since the 6:25 a.m. earthquake. The largest so far has been a magnitude 2.7 earthquake that struck five miles northwest of Westwood.

graceful releases

many, many, many years ago I lost count of how many times an earthquake in California was claimed that it “could be a precursor” to “the BIG one” there

coulda, shoulda, woulda

its like yada, yada, yada

or better yet - jibber jabber

RE: "FYI"
I hope things settle down for you folks. I can imagine how things feel when the earth starts to shake. I rolled around on my bed during one last year, first time I remember a mild earth quake happening in Philly.
