Southern California Shaken by 3.9 Magnitude Quake

Last Thursday morning southern california experienced an earthquake with the magnitude of 3.9. The epicenter located near Lake Elsinore affected a vast region when the shaking at Lake Elsinore occurred. The recorded time was at 9:39 a.m. Pacific time and the quake was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego. Simultaneously, there are no reports of damage in the area currently, as Cal Fire stated.

Situated under a mile northwards from Lakeland Village and eastwards from Temescal Valley, the seismic sense was also very close to Wildomar and Canyon Lake. Besides this event, there were other quakes in the region; the one of the highest magnitude was the 4.4-magnitude shake near Highland Park on Monday. Moreover, the earlier one was near Bakersfield on the previous Thursday. Thus, the recent events prove the increased activities of the seismic “hot spot” of the Puente Hills fault system.

Responding to the seismic history of the area, as it usually experiences 25 salty quakes in Southern California and Nevada annually, it is only another record of the shaking. Moreover, the Thursday “morning’s quake was recorded at a depth of 5.6 miles”.
