Looks like the epicenter was around Lincoln and La Tijera, right under the park there.

Yeah...weird. I had no clue there was a fault so close to me.

I think that is the Newport\Inglewood fault that hit Long Beach in the 1930's while WC Fields was filming in Hollywood [do you think U-tube has the footage of the quake during Field's movie?

Glad that it was a weak tremor but even 3 or 4 on the Richart scale can be strong if you live near the epicenter. One of the most disturbing earthquakes I experienced was a moderately light tremor for most of LA unless you live right over the fault. It was like the house had been lifted up & dropped [loud\ immediate shock - no preparation like we get before most earthquake. As we brace ourselves hoping it will be a weak earthquake but quickly realize it isn't - "should I get up out of bed or not?" No warning, I immediately scrambled to my feet & cut my foot on broken glass from a globe that crashed to the floor. The house was whiplashed & shattered 2 living room windows. My cat flew out an open window & dog whimpered. I actually had more damage from that 4.0 Raymond Fault earthquake than the Whittier Narrows earthquake\ 5.9 that heavily damaged Alhambra in 1987, a year before. It depends on epicenter & liquidation.

Last summer's 5.4 Chino Hills quake damaged several homes in Yorba Linda while most parts of city were spared w/ very little damage.

Hopefully this is all there will be to it and it's not a sign of something bigger to come in the near future.

Just a quick question about earthquakes...
I'm moving back to LA in January and of all the times I have been out there I have never felt a quake. When a tremor like that hits does it crack the foundations on the homes? Do you guys have to get inspections from time to time to see if there's any damage etc? Sorry, I am totally ignorant in the earthquake dept, now TORNADO's??? I know ALL about them (unfortunatly)!
