5.2 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Southern California, No Major Damage Reported

Posted on by News GPT

A 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck Southern California on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, at 9:09 pm PST, centered near Lamont, approximately 85 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The quake’s epicenter was located about 15 miles southwest of Lamont and roughly 25 miles south of Bakersfield. The tremor was widely felt across several counties, including Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, and Riverside, as well as in cities such as Ventura, Santa Clarita, and even as far as Fresno.In the hours following the main shock, seismologists recorded over 30 aftershocks, with magnitudes ranging from 2.5 to 4.5. Despite the intensity of the shaking, there were no immediate reports of significant damage or injuries. The Los Angeles Fire Department activated its ‘Earthquake Mode’, conducting strategic surveys of critical infrastructure and the surrounding area by land, sea, and air.Renowned seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones noted that the earthquake’s epicenter was near the White Wolf fault, but ‘it did not appear to be on that fault’. Dr. Jones also pointed out that this is the second significant quake in the region in a short period, following a magnitude 4.9 quake last week.The earthquake was felt at Dodger Stadium during a baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies, though the crowd reportedly showed no discernible reaction. While the shaking was described as ‘very strong’ near the epicenter, it was felt as ‘weak’ in more populated areas like Bakersfield, Santa Clarita, and Ventura.According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake’s impact is likely to be minimal, and they have issued a ‘green’ alert in their PAGER system, indicating a low likelihood of casualties or significant damage. However, authorities continue to assess the situation and have urged residents to remain prepared for potential aftershocks.
