Rattled

Monday, 17 November 2008

A 4.1 'quake hit at 33.498°N 116.865°W, at 12:35:42 UTC. I felt it here in Hillcrest, and started checking the USGS SoCal 'quake map, fearing that a population center had been hit by something big. Fortunately, the 'quake wasn't all that strong, and the population density at the surface above the epicenter was very low (even before the 'quake).

[Up-Date (2008:11/21): I was asleep when a 5.0 'quake hit Baja Calfornia yester-day, and don't recall feeling it.]
