BREA, CA, March 19, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- It was a quake small enough to have slept through, yet big enough to rouse even some heavy sleepers. But to all Southern Californian residents who both felt and heard about yesterday's quake, it was too close for comfort. Given the recent quakes of magnitudes 8.8 and 7.0 that have rocked both Chile and Haiti respectively within the past couple months, yesterday's 4.4 mini-quake at 4 AM was just enough to arouse underlying anxieties about earthquake preparedness, and concern for when "the next big quake" will happen in California.
Residents of surrounding counties were not immune to quake either. The epicenter, though located 10 miles southeast of Downtown Los Angeles in Pico Rivera, was apparently not far enough. Ripples of the quake were felt by residents living as far away as San Diego.
The magnitude of the quake was one predicted by the 'Earthquake Lady' herself, though not in the manner of a religious fanatic prophesying the world's end. In a recent interview, award-winning how-to website TVLesson snagged an exclusive one-on-one with Dr. Kate Hutton, Caltech seismologist and the veritable go-to person in the event of an earthquake (thus being dubbed the 'Earthquake Lady' by the general public). Hutton predicted, based on experts' estimates, that the quakes that were likely to hit California in the future could be near the magnitude and force of the ones that devastated the Southern hemisphere. The shake from yesterday morning certainly attests to the validity of this prediction.
Hutton also shares tips on how to be prepared in the event of an earthquake, as well as basic definitions for earthquake, and aftershock. Former La Habra city councilman James Gomez reprises his role as TVLesson host in a series of video interviews available exclusively online by searching TVLesson's tutorial archives.
