6.4 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Southern California by bencraigbritten2: 10:44pm On Jul 04, 2019
6.4 magnitude earthquake hits Southern California
A 6.4 magnitude earthquake rattled Southern California on Thursday July 4th.



This is the largest earthquake to hit the region in decades. The quake, which occurred at 10:33 am was centered in the Searles Valley, a remote area of Kern County about 100 miles from Los Angeles.



The quake was the largest in Southern California since the 1994 6.6 Northridge quake, which caused deaths and destroyed properties worth billions of dollars. Thankfully, today’s quake was located far from the metropolitan Los Angeles area.



Reacting to the tremor, Ava DuVernay tweeted: "Been living in Los Angeles all my life. That was the longest earthquake I’ve ever experienced. Not jerky. Smooth and rolling. But it was loooong. It was so long I thought for the first time ever “Is this the big one?” Damn. Respect Mother Nature. She’s the boss."



"I was in my kitchen trying to get some coffee and all the windows started rattling," said Emma Gallegos, a 34-year-old journalist in southwest Bakersfield. "It was just a little bit at first — I thought something was going by, and then I realized all the windows were rattling. It was kind of a long gentle roll and I felt two distinct waves."



Gallegos said that the dried chiles hanging from a hook on her kitchen wall were all shaking. "It was surreal."



Local emergency agencies have been flooded with calls, and officials urged that people only use 911 for emergencies.



"We are very much aware of the significant earthquake that just occurred in Southern California. Please DO NOT call 9-1-1 unless there are injuries or other dangerous conditions. Don't call for questions please," the LAPD said in a statement.

You see how blessed we are in this country? But herdsmen, bandits, kidnappers, gunmen, and APC won't allow us enjoy our country in peace.


My prayers are with them.

These California people are just like lagosians. Is it by force to live in a city even when you're living in duress and discomfort?

Around 3-quarter of their lands is covered by mountains and forests. Even the little left is always threatened by hurricanes, earthquakes and other physical disasters.

As big as America it's only California they want to stay.

What do I know? There's money in California and there's many perverted and sex hungry people and laws there. Not many hate money and regular sex.

You get sense!

Many people don't know that science (in practice) is guided guess. Many times you need to interpolate data values to fill in voids, estimate values, choose samples instead of the whole population.

No scientist can tell you he has perfect knowledge. But our mumu Nigerians think science and scientists are perfect.

Well it's easy not to see imperfection if you are light-years behind intellectually, so I understand. If they were perfect why are they making improvements? Or does a perfect thing need improvement?

I'm a GIS Analyst and I work closely with researchers and organizations to solve problems.
Think!!!
