Earthquake



"A minor earthquake occurred at 9:28:49 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, March 26, 2008.The magnitude 3.1 event occurred 3 km (2 miles) NE of Newport Beach, CA.The hypocentral depth is 8 km ( 5 miles). "



This earthquake was about 7 miles from my house. It was a quick short jolt that made the house creek but there was no wave motion. This is typical of a close earthquake - no rolling motion but just a sharp jolt.

"A" is my home on the map and "B" is the earthquake location.
