  • Fallbrook West of HWY 15 - I felt one small shake around midnight and a much stronger multiple shaking this morning 8/8/12. Left no doubt that it was an earthquake. I live on the second floor and there are long wood spans for underneath floor support, so it picks up vibration too well!

        Nobody on this planet can predict the timing of an earthquake and the location where it will happen.

        August 8, 2012 at 7:49 pm

        okay but is it normal for 5 or more earthquakes in a matter of hours for the Anahiem area. I mean I know california is an earthquake zone but what is normal for them?

      • Armand Vervaeck says:
        August 8, 2012 at 7:56 pm

        Yes this is normal and happens all over the world in earthquake zones. Every earthquake may be followed by numerous aftershocks which are normally weaker than the mainshock but may be in some cases even contain a stronger one. In todays case 2 had the same Magnitude and the others are weaker. You may expect some more weak aftershocks the following hours or even days. I am sorry to tell that. In Van, Turkey they had thousands of aftershocks and literally hundreds where felt by the people. Earthquakes are horrible as you never know how long they will last and how powerful they will be. Hope it will calm down soon.
