california earthquake

California earthquake, shakes southern California early this morning. Although It was considered small in size, it shuck a large area.

The quake hit not far from the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, a magnitude 5.9 quake that killed eight people and caused more than $350 million in damage.

"I'm sure people would have felt it, but this is not an earthquake that will be damaging," said USGS geophysicist Amy Vaughan. Scientists have not yet determined which fault was responsible for the latest quake, said California Institute of Technology seismologist Kate Hutton.

I have included a map from the U.S. Gov to show seismic activity in southern California and Nevada over the last week.
