The 4.9 Southern California earthquake erupted along the San Jacinto fault system capable of large temblors.
Parts of Southern California were shaken hard Friday evening by a 4.9 earthquake that struck near Anza in Riverside County. It was felt especially strongly in San Diego County.
The quake erupted along the San Jacinto fault system, which scientists say is capable of producing a 7.3 to 7.5 temblor.The quake hit at 6:53 p.m. at a spot near the San Diego-Riverside county line, 11 miles east-southeast of Anza and 16 miles north-northeast of Warner Springs, at a depth of 6.6 miles.
“This is a section of the fault where we expect larger quakes. The last big one occurred on Nov. 22, 1800, when we had a 7.3 earthquake. It produced up to 13 feet of lateral displacement near Anza.”“Could we have a big one tomorrow? Yes,” Rockwell said. “Could it wait another 100 years? Yes. The return time is quite variable.
“There is a 5% chance that this was a foreshock to a larger earthquake in the next 48 hours. But there’s a 95% chance that nothing will happen.”Robbins writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.
