Title: Earthquake Storm!!!! April 4!!!
Post by: atomic7732 on April 04, 2010, 04:45:17 PM

SO first, there was three 4.somthings in Southern California...

Then at 22:40:39 UTC on April 4th the big one struck... A 6.9 in Baja! My aunt called my mom who called me when I was on my way home... Then I rushed to the computer. The shake maps came out... Sure enough. My aunt was right! We felt it! ci14607652 (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/ci14607652.php)

Then... When I was working on figuring it out... Another struck. A 5.1 in Southern California just 45 minutes later!
