Might not have noticed these two shakers that were on the list early today up around Ojai, California except that I discovered a CBS 2 Los Angeles story that describes them as 2 Different Earthquakes @ http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/05/07/2-earthquakes-rattle-ventura-county/ and lists them as a few seconds apart. Seems to me like it is common for the USGS to review such earthquakes and make such changes. If you check the list of latest earthquakes I notice it now appears to be the same earthquake listed twice, which could mean the USGS changed it now into ONE earthquake. You can see the USGS Report here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci15338761#summary
Let's continue to watch now for a few more hours and days for a 5 or 6 Richters Shaker, since that incident early today would add up to 7.2 Richters if adding them up was worth anything? Only means twice the total amount of earthquake energy to me, BUT in general it is a vibration measurement that shows how much "Noise" the ground made as it was moving and has more to do with the amount of friction the movement encountered. It DOES however indicate the ground is moving up around Ventura County, California and MIGHT move more, yet!!! Be Prepared! EQ Guy
Edited at 8:15pm on May 8. 2013 to Change USGS Link for new style of "Earthquakes Event" Page. Old one had been deleted when they changed over like early today.
