Earthquake in Lytle Creek shakes SoCal

>>> GOOD MORNING, E. I’M MICHAEL BROWNLEY. WE’VE JUST GOTTEN WORD OF AN EARTHQUAKE. WE WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT. >> RIGHT NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT A PRELIMINARILY MAGNITUDE OF 4.6. WE FELT IT RIGHT BEFORE THE SHOW. SOME PEOPLE TOLD US, HEY, THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE AND WE LOOKED INTO IT. IF YOU’RE NEAR RIVERSIDE, ONTARIO, YOU FELT IT STRONGER THAN IN THE VALLEY. IT WAS IN LYTLE CREEK TO THE WEST. 4.6 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE RIGHT NOW. WE’RE LOOKING INTO THAT MORE. THE DEPTH IS ABOUT SIX MILES. WHAT THAT IS CONSIDERED IN TERMS OF HOW STRONG

THAT IS, FREQUENCY, 4.6 IS CONSIDERED A LIGHT EARTHQUAKE. IT DOESN’T MEAN IT AT ANY TIME SHAKE YOU UP A LITTLE BIT OR YOU DIDN’T FEEL IT TODAY. WE HAVE ABOUT 6,200 OF THEM A YEAR. IN CALIFORNIA, ABOUT 17 A YEAR. SO GETTING FREQUENT HERE BUT CONSIDERED A LIGHT EARTHQUAKE. NOT GETTING REPORTS OF ANY DAMAGE BUT LOTS OF PEOPLE FEELING IT. IF YOU DID, LET US KNOW YOU DID. JUST A GOOD REMINDER TO BE SAFE, EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS. THERE IS NEVER WEATHER FOR AN EARTHQUAKE. IT HAPPENS ANY TIME IN CALIFORNIA. THIS IS A GOOD REMINDER TO BE
