Earthquake Los Angeles: No Damages Registered

LOS ANGELES (GaeaTimes.com)- Los Angeles was hit by a series of earthquakes from Friday to Sunday. On Friday, a 3.9 magnitude quake struck the Port Hueneme, near Ventura County, at around 8:19 in the morning. Yet another earthquake struck Los Angeles on Sunday, at around 4:33 in the morning, about three miles east of Culver City and two miles east of Baldwin Hills. Yet another temblor occurred in Los Angeles on Sunday itself, in Santa Monica. Thankfully though, none of all these earthquakes caused any damage, either major or minor, and no injuries were also reported. However, according to the scientists with the Geological Survey of the United States, that is nothing very surprising.

The Los Angeles earthquake of Sunday measured about 3.6 in the Richter Scale, and occurred at around 2:17 in the morning. It had originated eight miles deep, two miles away from the Redondo Beach, off the coast of Santa Monica. The earthquake, although not of a great magnitude, was felt in many areas, not only those towns in the coasts, but also in central Los Angeles. The residents reported that they had felt a very slight tremor when the quake struck, and although mild, the temblors were felt in a widespread area.

The scientists with the Geological Survey of the United States reported that there is no reason to panic if a quake the magnitude of the Los Angeles earthquake strikes the area, considering that they are not likely to be able to cause any damage, either to life or to property. Moreover, they also asserted that earthquakes of this magnitude are likely to be often felt in the area, which is n earthquake prone zone.
