It has zero to do with being a transplant or a newbie.

I've lived in Los Angeles for nearly 25 years and I don't like earthquakes in any way or form.

I remember Northridge, and when that quake popped off it was at nearly the same time in the morning, on an early Monday morning, 3 day weekend.

This one didn't roll in quietly, I felt a jolt and a decent amount of side to side rolling shake that lasted over 12 seconds where I am.

The land I'm over is liquifaction risk because I'm near the coast.

I don't like quakes, never have and never will. Anytime I feel anything over a 2.0 if it's in my area within a few miles I feel them.

Get your kit together, because we're not done yet.

I did not feel it. I was awake and may have been moving about when it happened.
Yeah it was definitely shallow.

Or just about anywhere in the basin. When you sit atop ~18,000' of marine sediment, prepare to rock and roll.

^^^This is what I'm thinking^^^. I live up in SJ, but all these earthquakes have me a bit on edge.

Is this really an often occurrence (earthquake shakes that do nothing) in Los Angeles or have there just been quite a few lately?

I view this uptick in activity as normal. The area near Yorba Linda has had a noticeable increase in activity recently, same in OC and there was even a noticeable quake out by Fontana as well not too long ago. And as usual, off the coast there have been smaller quakes...and now on the west side.

Socal is simply a seismically active area with many faults. Quakes are just infrequent enough for us to forget about them, and as soon as that happens, we get little reminders.

I really am not worried nor do I think this activity is a precursor to anything larger in the Southland. Just an uptick in regional activity...that has happened before as well-and didn't lead up to anything larger. I remember some very active years in the late 90s out in the San Gorgorio Pass area and near Big Big. There was also a time when the Inglewood Fault from Hollywood down to Long Beach was rather robust and nothing major came of it either. Just be aware of disaster protocol and you might even find the quakes exilerating and educational, if you are so inclined.

IDK if it's just me, or has the ground been mildly shaking?
