Hollywood earthquake is third in 10 days

Got this from Survivalblog.com.  I realize that temblors are fairly commonplace, but with all of the activity in the 'Ring of Fire' over the past couple of years, one wonders . . . :???: :fuelfire:

Hollywood earthquake is third in 10 days



By Jason Felch

February 8, 2014, 1:35 p.m.

 

A shallow magnitude 3.0 earthquake that was centered near Hollywood and shook parts of the Los Angeles basin Saturday morning was the third temblor to hit the area in the last two weeks.

The latest quake occurred at 10:13 a.m. at a depth of 5.0 miles and was felt from the Westside to East L.A., said Anthony Guarino, a seismologist at Caltech.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the epicenter was near the intersection of Melrose and Virgil avenues, on the eastern edge of Hollywood. It was the third magnitude 3.0 or greater quake to hit that area in the last 10 days.

“It’s pretty standard for L.A.,” Guarino said. “There are a lot of different faults there.”

Clusters of small quakes are common in the Los Angeles basin, and generally don’t signify that the "big one" is coming, Guarino said. Every earthquake has a one in five chance of being a foreshock for a larger quake, he added. The odds of that decline quickly as time goes by.

The very next sentence states 'the region is overdue for a major quake.' :thatsright:

So, it's common, but it might be something big in the future.  Make up your minds, will ya?

If Nadin didn't report it, it didn't happen.

Anyone ever hear of "Frostquakes". Often speculated upon, rarely experienced. We had one here in the central states recently.
