A magnitude 4.0 earthquake has shaken Los Angeles. It struck at around 3am local time Thursday morning at a depth of about 10km, roughly 13km northeast of Trabuco Canyon.
The initial quake was followed soon after by a 2.2 aftershock.
The earthquake comes just days after the western seaboard of the US was placed on high alert following a magnitude 7.9 earthquake offshore Alaska. Tsunami advisories were also posted in Hawaii but there were no reports of significant waves causing any damage, injury or loss of life in either region of the US.
Scientists have warned that the Earth may experience a far higher number of major earthquakes than normal owing to a slight change in the Earth’s rotation.

IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT!
Really, it’s too many wetbacks. Greasy bastards causing the land to slide.
I just checked….
LA is still there.
Too bad.
😆
4.0 quakes are no big deal…there was a 5.0 out here in the Big Bend back in 1995 where the only serious damage was to roadways in the area and even along I-10 about 80 miles away (was teaching in El Paso at the time, and driving home), and there were some after-shocks at our place that weekend. I’d say 7.0 is when one can start worrying.
I didn’t even get out of bed for a 4.0.
