Earthquake Southern California Corona Los Angeles A earthquake shook California on Wednesday and was felt throughout the Greater Los Angeles area, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). The tremor's epicenter was some 23 kilometers east-northeast of the town of Santa Ana, and it struck at a depth of 2 kilometers. There were no immediate reports of damages or injuries. An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.1 has struck near Corona in Riverside County, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS says the quake struck at 1:49 p.m. just 5.3 miles from Corona. It was originally reported as a 4.5 magnitude but was ultimately reduced to a 4.1. A quick jolt was felt in the Riverside area and viewers reported shaking in Orange County. One viewer said he felt a strong shake in Santa Ana. The earthquake briefly prompted the Los Angeles Fire Department to go into “earthquake mode“ where members from all of its 106 stations surveyed their coverage area, searching for any damage. There were no immediate reports of any damage or injuries. There were several smaller earthquakes reported in the same area on Tuesday, including one measuring 2.8 and another at 2.5. “It has been part of a sequence,“ said Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones. “There were several earthquakes [Tuesday] in the same location, the largest was a magnitude 2.8. I think there were about a dozen of them. So it appears to be a part of a little sequence, which is just saying when one earthquake happens, another one is more likely, and mostly, they stay small. Like any earthquake, this is going to have a 5% chance of being followed by something bigger within the next couple of days.“ earthquake earthquake now earthquake near me earthquake los angeles earthquake california earthquake orange county california earthquake usgs earthquake was there an earthquake just now earthquake corona corona ca earth quake temblor hoy earthquake anaheim earthquake riverside earthquake 5 minutes ago in california earthquake right now la earthquake corona earthquake los angeles earthquake earthquake just now earthquake now los angeles earthquake la earthquake santa ana earthquake orange ca Source:
