2012-08-08 Two Closeby Earthquakes, M 4.5

Last night about 11:23 PM I was given a good shake while in bed.  The M 4.5 earthquake was a few miles east of Yorba Linda, which is only about 5 miles from where I was.

This morning at about 9:33, about 10 hours after yesterday’s temblor,  I was at work and felt a sharp jolt, which got everyone’s attention.  Again, this M 4.5 quake was a few miles east of Yorba Linda.

There have been a few more in the same area, but not strong enough to be felt.  Aftershocks?  Or foreshocks?  If so, expect a bigger one very soon. :-O

Update Aug 29, 2012 – I was at work, checking a computer under the desk, when another earthquake shook the building.  It was 1:31 PM, the earthquake was a 4.1 magnitude, and I felt it, and so did the other people in the room.  This earthquake was from the same location as the previous earthquakes.
