What Next? Ojai Earthquake Adds To SoCal Misery, As 5.1 Shaker Hits
deadline.comAs if a history-making tropical storm, flash flood warnings and high wind advisories weren’t enough, the Ojai area was hit with a 5.1 earthquake this afternoon around 2:41 p.m.
The quake was believed to be centered two miles from Ojai city center. Initial reports indicate little damage and no serious injuries, but strong jolts were felt by many further south of the town in L.A.
and Riverside counties. “Severe” emergency alerts warned Los Angeles County residents to “Drop, Cover, Hold On. Protect Yourself.” The quake was followed by a series of aftershocks, the largest measuring above magnitude 3.0.
