6.5 earthquake in central California
Monday December 22, 2003
It was at 11:15 Monday morning. I didn't feel it in my Bay area home, but lots of others around the Bay area did--and so did people in Los Angeles. This looks like a thrust event, not unusual for the location. If you visit the USGS server, watch the aftershocks fill in the extent of the rupture zone over the next few days.It appears to be on the Oceanic-West Huasna fault zone, one of the less-celebrated strands of the fault system that extends 100 kilometers in width along the California coast.
