Where Was Today's LA Earthquake?
July 29, 2008 at 3:39 PM | 0 Comments
At 11:42 local time, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake shook up Los Angeles, making us glad that the White Knight Two reveal was yesterday instead of today. We don't like hiding under desks!
The epicenter, mapped above, was just two miles from Chino Hills and 29 miles from the LA Civic Center downtown. While 5.8 isn't that strong, it did manage to shake up buildings and locals alike. There were no serious injuries reported, but Disneyland has closed its rides for inspections.
As for people trying to flee LA, they're in luck: Flights out of LAX continue to operate normally.
