Since I can't fall asleep again anyway, here is a seismicity map of the area around the M4.2 strike-slip earthquake near Pacoima. The Los Angeles and Beverly Hills police departments reported normal operations, but officers at both strongly encouraged residents to be prepared in the event of a major earthquake. “The LAFD has concluded the systematic survey of the City of Los Angeles by ground and air, and is pleased to report that no major infrastructure damage was noted by our personnel in the City of Los Angeles, and that there has been no loss of life or serious injury that we can directly attribute to the (magnitude) 4.2 earthquake,” spokesman Nicholas Prange said.

She noted that Thursday morning’s shaker occurred at the intersection of faults responsible for the 1971 San Fernando earthquake and the 1994 Northridge quake, but there was no way to draw any connection with those events.

In the last 10 days, there have been two earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater centered nearby.Īn average of five earthquakes with magnitudes between 3.0 and 4.0 occur per year in the greater Los Angeles area, according to a recent three-year data sample. Those and today are all deep (~7-8 miles down), way below the oil fields.- Dr. It appears to be on the Newport-Inglewood fault, at almost the same location as 4 M3 quakes in April, May and June 2015.
