Westwood, CA Earthquake

Moderate earthquake in Westwood, California (greater Los Angeles area) – Slight damage possible

Last update: March 17, 2014 at 3:02 pm by By

Update 13:41 UTC : So far, nobody reported some damage (probably due to the very brief shaking). The LA METRO reports : Due to an earthquake, there will be minor delays on all Metro Rail lines while we inspect tracks and equipment. Update to follow.

Update 13:41 UTC : USGS has lowered his initial Magnitude from 4.7 to 4.4. This together with the reports that the shaking was very brief is changing our exception into a mainly harmless earthquake. Slight damage like cracks in walls, a few broken window and fallen objects and tiles are always possible. Fire trucks and ambulances have been heard after the quake, but this may have been only precautionary.

Update 13:40 UTC : Jascha Polet reported : reverse faulting with strike-slip component at depth of 8 km
